It means you are finally getting enough light... Many phals will
develop a little red or purple color under good light. This is a good

Thanks - good news indeed! But I'm still a bit puzzled. At a recent orchid
workshop I heard that phal leaves ideally should be a light green, like
granny smith apples. How does the purple relate to this?
