I think Amey is correct about it not being schilleriana - nonetheless it is an imposing plant with a fantastic display. Congrats Jordan.

Wow! What a gorgeous phal!! Nice growing, and good luck at the show!
This is definitely not Phal. schilleriana, judging from the leaves and the tip of the lips. Phal. schilleriana has mottled leaves and the under-side of the leaves is purple in colour. The lip is always anchor-shaped.
Jordan, an awesome display for sure...I bow to you...your most humble servant...

Congratulations dude! That is an awesome number of buds! I dont grow moth orchids well..Ive killed the last 4 I had..I tend to water indiscriminately and carelessly! But extremely healthy looking plant by the look of the leaves!

This Phalaenopsis deserves nothing but praise. What ever its origins or lack of known parentage, it has been adopted by you and is therefore a Jordan type orchid first and foremost. That spike is incredible. AL
