Thanks,

I know this is a beginner question, but what does the Dtps. signify?
And do you happen to have a description of the plant?

I shouldn't be so helpless. I found a photo, but the first question
stands.

Nine flowers on one inflorescence; flowers pure white centrally
peppered with medium fuchsia dots on all segments; lip white,
edged in deep gold and yellow on upper edge of midlobe and lower
edges of side lobes, callus bright yellow dotted with fuchsia;
substance firm; texture glistening.

This is the award description for the Dtps Malibu Leopard 'Zuma
Canyon' HCC/AOS. The cross was registered in 1996. The
natural spread is 9.9 with a vertical of 8.1,

I just took a look at the Doritaenopsis pictured on your site, and I'm
more and more convinced that my phal is in fact a Doritaenopsis of
some sort.

Is it common for a Doritaenopsis to be sold as a "straight"
Phal? Am I supposed to treat it any differently than I would if it was
just a Phal? I ask the question, knowing I don't plant on changing
the care I give it. I just like to know which rules I'm breaking. g
