I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Nice, do you have a pic of the entire plant?

Just as a side note -
"Phalaenopsis manni f. flava A.E. Christ.,f. nov. - ...
This is the anthocyanin-free form of the species. Although informally designated in horticulture under a variety of names (such as varieties alba and concolor), a valid botanical name has not been published"
This quote is taken from the book Phalaenopsis: A Monograph by Eric A. Christenson
Here is a nice little site with some info on this species - Translated version of http://pagesperso-orange.fr/bernard.lagrelle/Mannii/Mannii.html
