ID phal please

[spy]

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.

wish you had a flower close up picture. The flower does not look like a Phal

[panam]

Wow! Look at those big, fat, beautiful roots! Crazy!

[coeruleo]

i don;t think i've ever seen anything like it????? love it though! not a phal, maybe a relative, but totally unusual.

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.

The first thing that hit me was an alba aerides of some sort...

[Ron-NY]

I think it is Macropodanthus cootesii
