den phal

You may or may not know that the Japanese love to shorten words 

Dunno if the shortened words are easier to remember though

Most times I have to look up what the shortened word means or stands for

The other day when I bought these orchids it was labeled "Den phal" 

After looking it up it stands for dendrobium phalaenopsis also known as cooktown orchid

Can understand why they would want to shorten this word

Got these for O-bon
