The one without the red in the middle is really gorgeous and at certain lighting shines as if they have been dusted with silver dust.
Thanks.
The first one with the red lip, definitely no. It's a hybrid. I don't know of any species Phal that has a white flower/red lip combination. There are many white/red lip hybrids so it will be practically impossible to id by the flower.

The second one...I doubt it although its petal shapes do suggest some amabilis or aphrodite parentage somewhere in the background.
