Nice. Did it come with a name tag? It's what's known as a harlequin Phal. There are lots of different hybrids in many different colors, but all have maroonish splotches.
Notice it mentions this one is being produced in large numbers, so it should be widely available. But it also says it's been used for further breeding and, complicating it further, is that many of the large commercial nurseries don't register the names they use or just sell anonymous Phals. So just like it for what it is, without knowing the name.
It is my first orchid, so it's kind of special and it really doesnt matter about its pedigree to me... I have recently been given a tricolor gongora (sp?)... interesting in that the coloration appears like it will be simular when it blooms (still very immature)
Those Gongora tricolor are fantastic! Soon after a member here (maybe the same one?) sent it to me, maybe a month, it sent out a spike. Unfortunately we left town and the buds dropped
I did have it in room temperature conditions, bright shade, lfs/bark/perlite, and I watered it once and then let it dry out completely for a few days to get fat pbulbs.
