Help with Phalaenopsis Id?

[Roots]

I bought this last May because the flower had a lovely light lemon scent. However, it had no tag. The flower promptly fell off once I got it home and it has done little since. Finally, a new bloom has opened up. I think it might be bellina? Any thoughts on its id would be appreciated.

The leaves are not correct for a bellina. That is number one in my opinion. They are much wider, thicker and very glossy.
It could easily have Phal. bellina in the background. A straight bellina would generally be a slow grower and bloom in the summer months.
Lastly, I am completely unaware of a completely pale yellow variety.

Thank you very much. Definitely fits the slow grower bill but it was in bloom this time last year as well. And although it is somewhat whiter than in the photo it is yellow at the leaf margins. Probably some nice smelling hybrid. Appreciate the info.

These yellow flowered hybrids have Phalaenopsis emboinensis in them where the yellow color comes from.
I don’t think there are not a whole lot of registered yellow ones but they pretty much all look very much the same. So I don’t think you could identify exactly what cross this is.

I am not familiar with emboinensis. I will check it out. Thanks for the info. I don't care if I can identify the cross. I would just like to figure out how to make it grow a little faster.

Probably meant Phal amboinensis.

Probably meant Phal amboinensis.

Good old google took care of that for me.

I need to correct my previous remarks. I finally was able to locate a couple of light yellow bellinas that were awarded. I think that they are both recorded as Phalaenopsis bellina ‘alba’. Like I said, both are pale yellow like the one at the beginning of this post.
Both have white, or nearly all white lips. There were no images showing the shape of the leaves.
In looking at additional award images, I found a few other images, 5 maybe, of bellinas that were essentially pale yellow but with varying amounts of a pink blush. The blush was central on the flowers, mostly on the sepals.

Thanks for the further research. It looks way more yellow in my photos than in real life, even those taken in natural sunlight. I like the idea that it is a species because somehow that makes it seem more special. But whether it is or not, I still like the bloom a lot .

Oh yes, it is a very nice flower regardless.
