Phal 'Pauline'
First time re-blooming 'Pauline.' She was a grocery store salvage and neither of us have looked back since. When I got her she was in packed, very wet moss. I decided to try to get her to make the switch to s/h right away-- and much to my delight, she never skipped a beat. She still has her old moss roots growing happily, as well as many more new roots, too. I love her foliage-- pale green and very round leaves. Over all, a gorgeous plant. Sorry for the poor photos. But she's just not opening up and I had but a minute to snap a pic or two.

Will post updates as she unfurls!

It feels great getting a re-bloom, don't it?

Ryan,
Your 'Pauline' looks very much like my 'Taisuco Peace' also a supermarket find but with a tag.
My photo doesn't show the colors as well but based on your pictures they are very close.
Either way, Pauline is a lovely name.

I can see the similarities. Except yours seems to have some coloring on the edges, too.
I was surprised to see 'Pauline' had a tag too! In a grocery store of all places! My favorite garden center doesn't even have named orchids!
