Default Type of Phalaenopsis?

I'm pretty sure this is a type of phalaenopsis, but anyone know what kind of Phal it is?

Anyways, here it is. I took a few pics

Wow, that's a really pretty phal! I'm sorry but I can't help you identify it but maybe someone else has seen one like it and can help. I really love the color on it. And yup, you got a keiki!

It could be one of many hybrids .. it can look like another but it doesn't necessitate an accurate identification
as a hybrid can have a number of species and other hybrids in it's lineage and some lineages can go back many generations ... For example going strictly by coloration (This isn't taking petal and sepal structure or lip structure into consideration for identification which are only a few characteristics of any hybrid phal)
- Notice Phaleonopsis Pink Stripe at this site -
Eurovanilla Online shop
and
Phal (Ruey Lih Stripes x Jazzy) 'Bedford' - The first photo - Phal. (Ruey Lih Stripes x Jazzy) 'Bedford' - Google Image Search

Phal Pink Stripes = Phal Doris X Phal Baguio
and
Phal (Ruey Lih Stripes x Jazzy) 'Bedford' = Phal Reuy Lih Stripes X Phal Jazzy
The two look similar but are very different in parentage ...
So the great thing is you can name it yourself .. anyway you like .. it's a good thing though, if you wish to give it a registered hybrid name as a way of identifying it for yourself to stick the word NOID (as in No Identification) ..somewhere in it's name as to indicate that it didn't come with a registered name or name it by someone that gave it to you or the place you bought it .. the ideas for names are endless ...
and yes, there is a keiki growing on the end of it's spike .. congrats .. you are the godmother to a new baby phal
Don't remove it until it has grown roots about 3 inches long

Here is a funny thread on Naming NOIDs ..
Even Noids Need Names!

I'm actually quite confused on the name of Orchids. Is there a good place to look that up or get i get some clarification? lol

Basically, it seems like alot of the names are just made up. I know alot aren't, but some of them seem a bit odd, lol. I saw Jason Fischer somewhere and was like...that's a dude's name! lol
Thanks alot!

OH and also. I bought another Phal yesterday. See...already hooked. This ones going to come to work when it gets a bit warmer (The air at work is always kinda chilly about now). When i have a chance i'll take pics tonight and throw em in the gallery

Hopefully this will help you with Orchid naming .. if not .. just ask what you find confusing ...
