What is the scientific name of this Orchid?
A Phalenopsis hybrid.





Phalenopsis are also known as "moth orchids" because the petals resemble moth's wings. The flower has some Phalenopsis amablis in its heritage because of the flat shape of the flower and the pure white color. However, amablis has smaller flowers and the petals are longer. Nearly all Phalenopsis are hybrids and have larger and/or more colorful flowers than the species of this genus. The flowers themselves are arranged in clusters at the end of a long stalk. Most hybrids have no scent. Phalenopsis violacea has small violet flowers with a very strong rose scent, however.

Reply:Definitely a Phalaenopsis hybrid ... these are easily recognized by the "fangs" at the front of the labellum.





Phalaenopsis are among the most popular orchids sold as potted plants owing to the ease of propagation and flowering under artificial conditions.
Reply:My favorite is Phalaenopsis Culiacan, because it´s center is more yellow to orange and not reddish like amabilis.


Should be the best you compare them, you know the origin

Another possibility: the hybrid P. amabilis x culiacan, but I don`t know about it.

Cattelyas tend to have fringed edges to the flowers.
