A Phal From Publix

Went to the local Publix grocery store to pick up a few things for my wife. The girl at the check out counter had this Phalenopsis sitting next to her register. Asked her a few questions about the plant but all she could tell me was what was on the tag - A Phalenopsis - poor thing - she had to admit she didn't even know what that was. She did say laughing - "I think it's an orchid". I usually don't buy these orchids that have no real identification but the poor plant seemed to be saying "Take me home with you" - I did and I'm glad! My wife is recovering from Chemotherapy and it was a nice pick me up for her and looks great in her room. Now for the hard part - Anyone out there know what kind of Phal it is?

It's a hybrid phal so it will not be possible to positively ID it. It's pretty though and cheery, so no harm in not having a name. Good thoughts and wishes for your wife.
