I don't know if it's possible to i.d. this cutie - I could identify some of the sellers other un-tagged plants (oncidium hybrids) so thought I would ask.

Small sort of shimmery pale pink blooms, multiple branches on spike.

two plants (both nice sized) in one small pot!

second plant has a developing spike!

Wow, that's a lot of leaves and roots. Those two plants look WAY too big for that pot, but at least you have two very healthy looking Phals.

I'm afraid I've no idea on the ID. Usually Phals are near imposible to identify, but this one has an unsual looking lip for a Phal so maybe someone will recognise it.

lol yeah - quite a bargain - was $4

yes I thought at least maybe someone could say it looks like a hybrid of this or that species, as it doesn't look like the usual noid phal. Usually I get a noid I don't even post for identification as I know it can be impossible but the look of this one made me think perhaps it was possible

I don't mind if it remains a noid - my pets are noids too and I love them all the more for it
