Smile No ID Pretty Pink Mini Phal

Hello, I purchased this at a local nursery.
The photos don't show it well, but it is smaller phal.. A mini perhaps?
I would be so grateful if anyone can give me an ID, I would like to buy this in a normal size.
Thank you <3

The size IS normal for this Phal. It has miniature species (such as Phal equestris) in its ancestry, which leads to lots of small flowers on branching inflorescenses. Hybrids are impossible to identify, there are so many that look similar. So if you want a full-size Phal with a particular appearance, you'll want to buy one in bloom so you see what you're getting. Just as with dogs, roses, and other "life forms" that people want in their lives, breeders select parents for particular characteristics. If they want different characteristics, they'll select different parents.
