It reminds me of the jiaho's pink girl. Not sure what the parentage for that one is, but it looks pretty similar.

Jihao's Pink Girl is what I use for my avatar photo. So I am not sure this is it... I have seen this one before though, so I'm going to search for what I found before and post the name of it. What a cute little thing! I love mini phals. Too bad they never stay that way!

Or I could be totally wrong! It was Jiaho's Pink Girl I was thinking of! It is a hybrid of Phal. Schilleriana and Phal. Zuma's Pixie. So that may help you track down parentage.

Oh I am getting good at ID'ing. Thanks for the info, with that I went to the RHS Orchid Registry and found that P. Zuma's Pixie is derived from P. Carmela's Pixie x P. equestris.
Well, the parentage seems to be never ending. Carmela's Pixie is a cross between Cassandra and Terilyn Fujitake.
Cassandra is made by hooking up P. stuartiana and P. equestris.
Then we go back to Terilyn Fujitake which is hybridized between P. stuartiana and P. Pink Fantasy.
Pink Fantasy is a grex between Perry Porter and Suwanee.
Suwanee is begotten from Cassandra (we all know that one's lineage now) and Barbara Beard.
Barbara Beard is a mating of Virginia and Zada.
Back to Perry Porter, and that one was made by bringing together Harlequin and Mildred Karleen.
I ran out of energy and synonyms to describe how these were hybridized to keep gong any further.
If you are still with me, it looks like its got heavy influence from P. equestris and P. stuartiana.

So you were right! Cool stuff! I love orchids. My Jiaho's Pink Girl is in bud now. I repotted it into a jello pudding cup that I cut slots in the sides of. I keep it potted in moss because the humidity here is really low, especially in winter.

I had one planted in a yogurt cup for a while. Served its purpose quite well! Just started looking a bit rough after a while.
Thanks for the sleuth work, Tindomul!

So complicated. I had to laugh when you said if you are still with me.....hum I was.
I have one potted in a fruit cup. I burned holes with a hot nail. There pretty sturdy.
