Default I Think I Found The Name!

I posted a 'not so good pic' of this flower recently as a NOID I picked up at the local garden center...yes, the very same neglectful garden center! I saw a flower today at Meijer's and thought it looked almost identical....so you guys and gals be the judge and jury and let me know what you think It was in a clear plastic pot and sometimes they print the name on the pot....I got lucky! Phal Exotic Fire Alto. If anyone has a pic of their Phal Exotic Fire, please post...

The 1st two are of my plant





This is the flower from Meijer's

OK, Dorothy, you caught me once again....just my age showing!!!!! I changed things around and now the 3rd pic is correct and different than the 2nd....but are they the same???? Aside from photographic variation and possible fading of the flower color with time as I don't have a clue how long the flowers have been on the Meijer's pic, are they the same?

I'd say the same - especiallyt knowing they came from Meijer. These guys all get there's from a grower in SW Michigan (so I hear )
