Not sure, but I think my new orchid *might* be one of these. It has the same shimmery look to the greenish petals. What do you think?

Might be..the flower shape is a bit different though. There are many 'green' phals out there so its impossible to tell for sure. However, yours is the closest I've seen to mine.

Here are a couple more I took this morning, in natural light, of the other blooms (older and damaged)...

I really would just love to have a definitive ID on it, no matter what it is. I'm kind of anal that way. LOL.

It looks pretty darn close to me...I'm sure no one would question it if you called it Misty Green. It is probably not the clone 'Capitola' so just refer to it as Phal. Misty Green.
