    Default weak, weak, weak

    Complete lack of willpower. Bought a phal at the GR orchid show. The petals are darker than they appear here. Btw, does the column look like the head of a turtle to anyone besides me? [Light yellow eye, white beak....]

    Ooh--yep--I see the turtle. Which phal is this? Sometimes weakness isn't soooo bad!

    Oh that is cute! I see a turtle or maybe a baby bird head.

    Cheers,

    I see a turtle but what I saw first was the lovely white edging on that beautiful pink phal. Good choice!

    It's a cutie, Pavel, but I see no turtle.

    A Dtps with some equestris, perhaps?

    I see it and agree with BD that it could be a baby bird but alas poor Mc J has no imagination in the turtle head department.
    OH and it is very pretty I can see why you might have been a little weak.
