Not a common variety. A common variety has no spots on its petals and sepals.

There's a form of Punctatissima that has prominent spots, Phalaenopsis stuartiana var. punctatissima "Larkin Valley".
It can be found to Surigao and Agusan provinces, maybe in Leyte and Samar.

I have this 10 years ago, it was large and beautiful.
It died out from crown rot, devastated my hobby after I saw them died without further treatment.

I'm looking over for Phalaenopsis stuartiana var. nobilis, an alba form, which is very rare nowadays.

hi derek,
it is the "common" variety, if its not "punctatissima" or "alba", and the spotting is variable.
