Default New Camera, New Phal, Name???

Thanks for your reply and suggestion about photo size. That could be a
problem that one of my photos failed to post... too large.

My wife got the phal at Normans (Orchid.com). His nursery is about 3 miles
from where I live. I went to his web site and did a search on all orchids
currently in bloom. I think I found out what it is: Phal Jungle Cat,
"bloody mary". Cross between P. Golden Spice and P. Hawaiian Pinstripe

I need to do something to adjust the color on my photos. The true color of
the orchid is more of a tomato red on a yellow background. In the photo the
yellow background looks white. The following is the URL to the reference to
this plant at Norman's web site.
http://www.orchids.com/shop/shopCatR...s=phalaenopsis

Looks like I have lots of things to learn with this hobby.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Vito

Congratulations on your new camera and orchid. Unfortunately I can't help
you with name of your orchid as it is a complex hybrid and could be
anything but others on this group may be able to give some suggestions as
to what it might be..

Small request when posting to this group. Please downsize your photos to
manageable KBs as per attached. Makes life easier for everyone when
downloading and viewing.

Cheers and look forward to more postings as you acquire more orchids.

John

The wife surprised me with a new phal and a new camera. Unfortunately,
the
name of the phal is nowhere to be seen.

Anyone recognize this and can give me a name.

Thanks

Vito
