Default Phal Joy Pink Chamelion 'Joy'

Well I can't take credit for this bloom because it already had a spike when I bought it. It's my most expensive orchid to date but I really fell in love with it! The blooms open white and within a few days change to a pinkish hue. I couldn't get a good shot of the bottom most flower to the left but it is the darkest pink flower on it. It was the first to open.

Wow Sarah! That's amazing! I love color change flowers. It looks like it could have violacea and equestris in it?

Just looked it up on RHS.

Phal. Joy Pink Chameleon = Phal. Penang Jewel x Phal. equestris

Phal. Penang Jewel = Phal. violacea x Phal. Penang Violacea

Phal. Penang Violacea = Phal. violacea x Phal. micholitzii

Way more than anyone probably wanted to know!

Thank you for all the nice comments! I love it too. I used birthday money to get it. I decided that in an emergency situation I would grab all my pets (that would be a chore in it's self), my boyfriend of course, and this orchid!

Thanks Terri for looking that up. I've been meaning to do that so it's definitely not too much info. I love knowing that stuff.

Oh Sarah, that is a very special phal. Birthday money is meant to be spent on something special!
