Phal Mandarin Fire 'Orange'

[Brutal_Dreamer]

This phal is not really orange at all, but I do love the coloring. I have two of these. One in Semi-hydro and the other in bark. This is the smaller one in bark. I cut the spike off of the one in S/H because it had been going forever and the blooms where all tiny.

Bruce,

I agree. The color is just lovely.

Don't know why they called it "orange." (and they thought I had a color impairment???)

[Brutal_Dreamer]

LOL. I can see a tiny bit of orange in the center, but I think I would have called it something a bit more descriptive - not sure what, but something... hehe..

Cheers,
BD

That is lovely Bruce I can see why you like the colour it is really pretty, but orange? hmm oh well it is gorgeous orange or not

[Orchidzrule]

Nope, definitely not orange! Actually Phals don't "do" orange very well. There are some Phal-like Vandaceous orchids, though, so I keep waiting for some intrepid plant breeder/hybridizer to introduce orange into Phal flowers.

Whatever color you want to call it (I'd try coral), it's an attractive Phal. Nice, Bruce!

Cheers,
Rob

Very pretty color -- like the sunset reflecting off snow. I like the shape, too!

[Blueszz]

Maybe not orange but it's a lovely flower! This one could be one on my wish list :-)
