Phal Melody

[BikerDoc5968]

The Phal Melody 'Blush' just opened and I noticed a similarity to another flower that I had labeled 'Phal Wedding Promenade' but now that I look at all three, "I thinks I made a mistook!" What do all you think? The flower in the 1st pic is about 6 cm across while the flower in the 2nd is about 7.5 cm and the last two pics which are labeled Phal W P, have a different colored lip...it has some pink in it. I know flower size isn't the tie-breaker here, especially since the flower in the 1st pic is on a plant half the size of the 2nd pic.

The second picture looks closer to the first (Phal Melody 'Blush') rather than to the 3 & 4th (Phal 'Wedding Promenade') to me, but it's a close call.

But then it almost looks somewhere in between if you concentrate on the colour of the lip. The 2nd photo has a pinker lip that the 'Blush' but a paler lip than the 'Wedding Promenade'.

The second also looks paler over all, like the 'Blush'.

But it's difficult to know how much of the differnece is in the pics. I know when I photograph flowers it's rare for them to come out exactly the right colour.

Hmm

To me the first one, is a slightly darker color towards the center of the flower that fades as it nears the edges, much like blush that is applied to the apples of your cheeks, the lip has some yellow with spots ...the third one is definitely different looks like it has a pale background with spots that form the overall color, and the lip is yellow tipped with pink and spotted. The second one, looks paler than the Blush at the center area of the flowers, the lip is also different then the other two(lots spots and very little color(yellow/pink)). I think you have three different ones, and that all are very nice.

I don''t think they're the same, tho they are both quite lovely.

The Melody 'Blush' is a gorgeous flower,btw. White blushed pink flowers are one of my favorites.

They do look a bit different. I have a Phal Melody in spike right now, I can't wait to see the blooms.

Thanks,Snow....I would say its a match even though yours has more dots on the petals and sepals.
