What colors would I tag these as?
Some of the Mothers Day Phal orchids I rescued last June from Walmart are finally blooming for me. I'd like to tag them with as close to the correct color scheme as I can so I know what to expect when they bloom again. Can anyone give me some assistance?

Nice ones!
Hmmm ... well the first I'd tag as "white w/ yellow lip.
The second ... yellow w/purple stripes / overlay ?
Or, you could use a number on the tag, and start a photo file with the photos and number accordingly ?

Thanks Sonya, I think I'll go with the color schemes you mentioned. I have at least three so far with the white w/yellow lip not sure how many of the yellow w/purple stripes I have. I've still got 15 of the original 23 left I'm amazed that I'm doing that good for just starting last June with growing them. I don't know how well you can see it but the plant in the orange pot with the holes drilled around the side at the bottom is the white w/yellow lip that is blooming at the moment. It has about 30 or 40 blooms on it plus another stalk with quite a few blooms.

Yes it does. I'm amazed I'm doing so well with them. I can't wait to see what other colors I have. |

I would have to say they are large ones Shannon. Maybe you can tell by the photo.
