This is a mini phal I got from Lowes a while ago. It loves to bloom. It looks like a doritaenopsis hybrid but I know the AOS said doritaenopsis will be registered as phalaenopsis now. I know it is almost impossible to ID some noid phals but I thought the unusual shape of the petals and lip might make it easier to ID or at least tell me what parents could be in its background. Here's the picture:

Besides Doritis pulcherima, I can also see Phal. equestris in this hybrid. The primary hybrid between the two is Dtps. Purple Gem, but I don't think it is a straight Purple Gem, so I am guessing it is a Dtps. Purple Gem hybrid, just doing a wild guess, maybe Dtps. I-Hsin Purple Jewel (= Dtps. Purple Gem x Dtps. Taisuco Jewel).
