Yeah!! It's called the Moth Orchid commonly; the scientific name is "Phalaenopsis Kathy Maguire " and it is freaking gorgeous:

Woah! It really is. How in the world did she get it named after her? Did she have a hand in discovering/breeding it? It's amazingly beautiful.

It was actually her great uncle or some such thing that bred and named it after her I researched it and found "C. Beard" as the person who registered it, and my grandparents' surname is Beard. Thanks!

That's soooo cool. And so is having "beard" as your last name.
