Newly opened flower on pale yellow NoID Phal
Hello people! I just wanted to share this recently opened flower on one of my older NoID:s. It hasn't bloom for two-three years but now it has two spikes and the first flower opened today on one of the spikes.
I also realized that this NoID and the one I saved from certain death at my local supermarket look almost exactly the same, so I'll give the other one to my sister as soon as it has recovered properly.
Here are some pictures of it how the buds have grown for three to four weeks till today's grand opening:

That's a pretty sunny one, it reminds me of Phal. Little Emperor. I have one very similar too, both of ours may be this hybrid but we can never know for sure

Looks like taking better care of your orchids paid off, nice that it rebloomed for you! Such a nice yellow, I bet your sister will love the other one.

Thank you! I really stands out among all the pinkish and whitish Phals with its pale yellow flower and I'm still unused to see a yellow spot amongst them. It's like having a second and very tiny sun standing on the windowsill.
You bet, Camille. Even though orchids are slow at showing any reactions (especially Phals) I've noticed several small signs of happier Phals; better colours on the flowers, healthier looking roots with tips that are slowly growing, firmer leaves, and this guy got reeeaaally busy with working on its buds after being re-potted instead of being set back.
I think she will like it too and I look forward to seeing it bloom in her care.
