in a sea of add ice orchids, this one stood out
So I was at Sam's trying to find some dog treats, I passed a huge display of the (why in the hell do you think you need to) just add ice orchids. They all looked the same except this one. I couldn't find anything just like it, so I bought it. I have grown fonder of phals lately. This one is a NOID. Any ideas? I'm sure it's some kind of hybrid.
....hm...ok, now I have to find my phone so I can turn on wifi so I can get the picture on my computer. In the meantime, the body color is a pale chartreuse green, the lip is magenta, and the petals and sepals are decked out with magenta spots and some striping.
hmmmmm photo denied...still working on it

Very pretty! I still look at the box store Phals. Always scanning for the diamond in the rough. If you catch them when they first come in, there is a chance the roots are still good. I tend to repot instantly when bringing one home.

Very pretty one. I have seen some different spotted ones lately. I just keep making myself walk away. I still have to many on my wish list to get.
But I can tell you that would have been a hard one to do that to.

haha!
Yeah, I was like WALK AWAY!, Phals aren't your favorite anyway. There must of been at least 50 pots of orchids. They probably just got them in. It has real big fun leaves too! I like the big leaves. It adds character.
