Another deformed Phalaenopsis flower! (Orchid)

My little Phal that is always willing to bloom has just put out another deformed flower!
Although the lip is more fully formed, half of it doesn't seem to realise what it's supposed to be, as half of it is the colour of the petals with the reproductive organ missing on that side as well.

I agree - in fact, the freaks are always quite endearing!

Thanks Delonix. It's generally a nice mini Phal all round. It keeps producing lots of new leaves, plus one keiki too.

Meanie:

You definitely have a green thumb.

I can't wait to get all my orchids situated in my shade structure in the front yard...as all my orchids are being knocked over all around the yard with the recent storms here.
