Default Phal. Wedding Promenade

In that case - could anyone please help me identify my blooming beauty?

Pretty please?

The award description for 'Pink Profusion' HCC/AOS sates: "Twenty-eight
flowers on one inflorescence; sepals and petals medium rose-purple; lip
deep rose-purple with white and maroon spotting at base." which is pretty
much what Chris' flower looks like.

My guess is that Maggiesmom is the plant with the mistaken tag. None of
the descriptors or online pictures have that level of spotting.

Here are a few links to pix of Phal. Wedding Promenade. OrchidWiz has it
listed (it's an equestris cross), but no picture.

Obviously, there are differences, but that's normal. Looks more like
Maggie's Mom's than yours, Chris. Can't be sure, but yours looks
suspiciously like a Taiscuco hybrid to me.

A close-up of my newest purchase in bloom. Before it was done blooming,
it
sprouted another flower spike and it hopes for 6, maybe 7 more flowers
that
should start opening this week.


Nice coloring. Now, I hope I don't have a plant that was mislabeled.
Here is my Phal. Wedding Promenade.
