Pastel Phal
I love the soft pastel yellow color of this phal....maybe it is a deeper yellow when they first open...don't know how long they've been open but the soil was bone dry and the leaves soft.....yes, I found it in a big box store on a lower shelf out of sight ....out of mind. Guess it doesn't take much to be out of mind in a B B S!  Anyway, the leaves have perked up after repotting and the flowers held on.  Any thoughts of ID are always welcome

Yeah! Nice one, Doc! The coloring is very subtle throughout. Very soft and elegant. And then the orange of that lip! Very striking.

Yes, but you'd have to have room for their owner.....   And, one other thing...I apologize for the over-exposed pic....not my best effort. The colors are very soft but not totally appreciated in this picture. |

It's not over exposed Howard. If anything it might still be a bit under. It's just that capturing fine nuances of coloration in digital takes some practice with Photoshop. Want me to show you, using your picture?

How about :
I know, it's subtle, but I made the whites whiter, while holding onto the pastels. |
