One of my whites in bloom. This one has a great scent!

I need to figure out my camera. The bloom pictures are all of the same bloom taken at the same time. The second (white) one is the color of the bloom.

That's really lovely!! Definatelly wish list material ;)

Gorgeous!

It can be difficult to get the right colour in artificial lighting. If you've not already then try playing with the white balance settings and try a manual white balance if nothing else works.

Thanks I will mess with it. I would like to be able to get pictures that look like the actual flower.

Phal. Dove is the name listed by Norman's, I see, but Phal. Dove is an older hybrid (1985) that is 5/8 amabilis and 3/8 lindenii, not likely to look like your flower. Maybe someone in Taiwan is playing fast and loose with names?

I will get in touch with Norman's and see if they know anything about it.

I have one of these as well. To clarify the plant is Phal.(P. Gelblieber x P. Timothy Christopher 4N) 'Dove'. Meaning this is an unnamed cross with the cultivar name 'Dove'. Dove is not the name of the cross. These have been listed by Norman's for years and a name has never given to the cross because it has not yet been registered.
Hope that clears it up for you:)

Love the blooms on yours, very nice!

That would seem to be the case; Norman's has listed the names in reverse order on the web site, causing my confusion. They know better.

That should be a good cross. Both of those are excellent phals. Your's is beautiful. Good growing.
