Gin's Chingruey; comparison of colour

[BillC]

I have been trying to find a supplier of the plant and came up with Regal Orchids www.regalorchids.co.uk I offer their pic of the plant compared to Gin's pic. The pics are so different that I am asking is the diference due to growing conditions, i.e. light, temperature, feed, etc., or is it due to biological changes in the production of the plants. Bill

Well, it says color depends on light intensity. I would also add that the picture from regal orchids may have been taken in odd lighting. It doesn't look quite natural to me. Color balance used in their camera/software and odd lighting can do all sorts of bad things to a picture.

Cynthia, here is another pic. from Bedford Orchids, www.bedfordorchids.com photo by Sam Cheng. This one is so close to regal orchids pic that it could be from the same shot. Still confused. Bill

Yep, same photo, but a little bit larger. No new info here. Try another source.

Cynthia, this is from Chesterfield Orchids and is very similar to those which have gone before. Bill

Same picture again, they just keep cropping it differently. Look at the leaves on the left near the left petal, and the green visable at the bottom of the picture. It is like a finger print.

Cynthia, I found this one on a site ' Template ', but I can't give a link for the site. I think this pic shows the same characteristics as the others, and perhaps as you pointed out, it could be a matter of light. Bill

The light used to illuminate this one looks much better than the over used picture. Looks like that nice lime green may not always show up. We will have to have all the people with this one show us pictures of their flowers, and give us the details of their lighting, and maybe temp and humidity.

In Gin's thread there were many geeks who posted that they had 'gin ruey'. Please could someone out there who has this plant in bloom post a pic. Bill
