Why shouldn't they keep blooming in your care?

About the Phal parishii var lobbii or its placement as separate species and hybrids - (crossing both as in Lovely Kid ) and other etcs - there are lots of links showing a few dozens pictures of all of them. We had discussions about this last Spring around here.
You know, after looking at all of them again and AGAIN, mainly at the lip- pattern differences, perhaps calling it lobbii comes closest.
It seems they are sold with varying names and even after one vendor notes a correction, another will sell one again labeled differently.

Perhaps as a final note, I like them all and I wish I could keep them more reliably alive/thriving. On a happy note, my Phal decumbens which looked splendid for several years and then dropped all leaves ( they like to do that...), is trying to push out some new growth.
