    Default ID phal please

    hello all I hope this is the correct subforum for idying:



    anyway this is from my moms garden. Origin of the phal in question is from Zamboanga del Norte Philippines. I would appreciate if one could point me to the right direction.

    I agree the flower nor the leaves look like a Phal. A close-up of the flower would help us to, at least tell you the Genus, or the name of the plant.
    Good luck, The flowers are very pretty.
