Help ID?? Glitter's $4.00 orchid

One of the $4.00 orchids I bought had one bloom on it and I waited for it to open....but cut the others back. This one had no ID.

It's like a yellow green with pink or purple spots on it. Any ideas as to what it's name could be or family it's in?

Here's a pic.

It is obviously a phal, but coming up with a specific name will be near impossible. There are literally hundreds and thousands of hybrids out in the market - in some cases hundreds that even look alike. In some cases it might be possible to ask the place where you purchased it who their supplier is and then contact them to get an idea. Otherwise you are probably out of luck. I have a number of phal noids myself - early in the game I tended to be a rescuer of sad looking phals for cheap prices - but there is a limit to that game - the supply is ENDLESS. Now I'm more inclinded to pay more for something that in unique and has a tag (in case I might want to eventually show it in a show) That is an interesting flower - enjoy!

Glitter, you are some fantastic person. You have made quite a few rescues all at the same time. Your thumb must be a beautiful green!

I wish I had the time for the caring part. Keep coming with the pictures. I know I would enjoy watching the changes.
