    Default Need Help With Its Full Name

    At first I thought this was a Dendrobium but my friend Clint and my son Scott said it was a Phlaenopsis. Anybody have an idea as to the rest of its name Thanks

    It is nice, buzz, but if you don't have a name, I would just name it myself. It is beautiful regardless of the name.

    Cheers,

    I like the slight twist on the petals...
    I'm stuck with NoIDs too and agree with BD... Just give it a name you like!...
