That's the whole point Flame. We could flower a hundred Phalaenopsis from the same seed pod and no 2 would look exactly alike. There would be some that would look similar to yours, some that would be close but have less markings, some with lighter shaded markings. There is a less then one percent chance of matching it exactly. And if you are looking for a name, would you settle for a name " that is pretty close?"

The only chance you might have is if this was a mericlone. Clones would look alike because they were all "cloned from the same plant!"
I right now could probably find 5 hybrids like yours and put them in a "police line up" and although they might look very similar, No two would look exactly alike.
