I bought the same orchid too in the grocery store with no name back in January. Now I have a name. Thanks. By the way, mine didn't finish blooming until the end of April.

Awesome! I knew the ID as soon as I saw it, so I grabbed it!

I just got one this evening that looks about the same, it's tag (yes I had a tag woohoo!) just says "Little Pearl" no Yushan. I am still new to orchid speak. Is it safe to assume it's the same thing?

Does anyone know if these are supposed to be fragrant at all? Mine has a tiny bit of sap where the flower stem meets the main spike. That's how my fragrant onc. type was too.
I don't smell anything, but I know some only smell in the morning and such. Idkz... A girl can dream.

I have one too. I thought I smelled a very faint floral, kind of like roses scent this morning. Nothing this evening though. Glad to have a name for it!

Oh... and the flowers last FOREVER! I bought mine a month ago and it keeps putting out new buds and hasn't lost a single bloom yet!

This sounds promising.

I'll let you know if mine is at all fragrant too. I'm hoping it is.

I have another mini that is NOID but fairly certain what is actually is. However, the only difference is some people say it smells good and others, like me, think it smells nasty. Not even spicy, but like old something I don't even know what. I think it is Sogo gotris 'Flora Ark' something like that. Thankfully you have to actually go up to it and sniff to notice. It doesn't fill the room.

If it looks like mine, then it's a pretty good bet it's the same. The reason being is because there is not a registered Phalaenopsis with the name Little Pearl. So if it has that much on the tag, AND looks just like mine, it's a pretty safe bet.

Striking pictures.

Actually, my plant's tag calls it Dtps. Yushan "Little Pearl". The hybrid was registered by Wu Fu Shun in 2011 as a cross between Ho's Little Caroline x Chian Xen Pearl.
