Phrag besseae var flavum
This is one of my favourite orchids....Phrag besseae var flavum. I won this plant at our end of year raffle.The spike looked like a leaf and now after over a month the spike is 19.5cm\7.5 inches tall. The bud is very close to bursting.

It seems like the plant was labelled wrong! It looks like phrag. besseae var flavum x Phrag. besseae (the red one)

Never the less i still love it

If anyone thinks they know what it is let me know
