# Went to the grocery store and spotted this Phal with a petal instead…

Went to the grocery store and spotted this Phal with a petal instead of the “cup” they normally have in the center (of course I had to seize the opportunity and bring it home). I’ve never seen this before, has anyone else?

I’m not sure Ive never seen one like that, that’s really cool tho!

Maybe it’s a hybrid of phalaenopsis and something else? Like a miltonopsis or something. Lots of interesting hybrids these days!
