NOID Phalaenopsis Hybrid in bloom
Hi all.
I got this big Phal a few months ago, around October time or something. It came with a huge spike, but the spike was broken at the base by an accident. I got the Phal, practically for free from Home Depot, and now its in bloom again. There were only two blooms, and the spike is dwarfish, and the bloom is not as flat as it should, but its still all so pretty!! If anyone happens to think they know this hybrid, could you ID it for me? Thanks

It looks very similar to Baldan's Kaleidoscope.
How big are the blooms on the pink phal?

This one is 2.5 inches wide, and the pink one (Malibu Bistro) is 3 inches wide.

Good job Tindo, I agree with Ironwood looks just like pictures I've seen of Baldan's Kaleidoscope.

Wow, you guys seem to be right on the ball! I'm convinced that it is that one. Thanks! Lets get some more opinions to be sure.
This is a pic of Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
