Leaves

[ColombianOrchid]

Hello!!

Could anyone please look at the attached photos and tell me if there is something wrong w/ my orchid??
I have noticed that the leaves are a little red around the crown ... is this a characteristic of some phals?? This phal has big fuscia flowers.

thank you!

Perfectly normal. Some have it more than others. Parentage can have a roll. So can received light. If i remember correctly, one of the species used in Phal hybrids (cant remember which one though..read it years ago) contributes to the maroon leaf coloration.

Yup normal and healthy!
Some one these guys will turn red when you give them good light, rather than get pale
