Phrag. Silver Eagle

[SlipperFan]

(schlimii x czerwiakowianum) I wish it would open more, but it doesn't seem to. Not sure of the name, either... It doesn't look like others one the web. The closest is this one: http://www.victoriaorchidsociety.com/DISPLAY 10 12/1012010q.jpg

Anybody know for sure???

Pleasant colour but a little disappointing if you expect it to fade to near white as the name implies. A gentleman in our society shows a Silver Eagle occasionally that is almost completely white when mature (except for the spotting in the pouch like yours). The flower shape and plant are very much like your except the dorsal sepal is held vertical. I don't suppose this has helped much.

Lovely lighting in the photos.

Are you sure it's not an Archental?

My exact thought. Most of the Silver Eagles I've seen have much longer petals, and a much taller dorsal. Pic of my Achentel, from long ago.

Nice whatever it is.

I think they're on to something Dot.

The similarity to Phrag. Achental Michael (Shiva) has makes me think so.

When I saw this open, I thought to myself, "I've seen this before, but not as a Silver Eagle." I think you are all correct -- it does look a lot like Achental. Here are two I posted on slipperorchids.com (not the same plant) when I had access to a bunch of these:
