Here's the link to the one I got from oak Hill:

OOH you already got yours? exciting!!

I bought mine not in spike, since I purchased it two months ago, it has a maturing growth, and a new growth, and new roots I hear it usually sends out a spike in the fall

I'd give Paphs or Phrags a try. Paphs you can grow alongside your Phals as they like pretty much the same conditions, perhaps a bit moister. Phrags like a little more light and a lot more water. I really don't think you can over water these guys. Flowers on both are very pretty and unusual.

These are great suggestions---thank you! I also looked at the older thread you mentioned, Dorothy. I'll let you all know what I end up getting! Might have to be more than one....!

I find Oncs. really easy but I'm a Phal killer.
