Default My first orchid. (what is it?)

Deventeriana 'Treva' HCC/AOS is a very well known parent of yellow hybrids.
Usually gives a yellow flower with white at the center, like yours. Brother
Stage has not received any awards from the AOS, it may have some from
another country. 'Brother' is the name of the nursery congloerate that
produced the cross. It has some of the same species in its background as
Deventeriana.

Hybridizing in yellows is trying to get away from the white center to the
flowers, and have a total yellow flower, but yours is quite charming by
itself.

Sometimes looking at the little white tag sticking into the pot
works.
