Which Phal? So Many to Choose From! Female
Default Thank You All!

Well I have to say thank you all, for the suggestions and the amusing sidetrack. I had that song in my head all of yesterday

I've perused the images I could find and have a short list.

Phal:
equestris var ilocus
equestris Blue Lip
stuartiana var nobilis
stuartiana var punstatissima
Mini Mark

Had to be strick with myself to get it down to these. I think I may try and get more than just one though.
So.....

I'll let you know how it goes. Can't wait to get my sticky mitts on one or more of those beauties.

PS
No need to apologize, tangents can provide much entertainment.

Why is there such a huge difference in price between the Phal stuartiana at Orchidweb and BigLeaf? It looks like both are in spike and are similar sizes, is it the quality?

That is a bit of a gap!?

Possible reasons I can think of.

a. One is grown from the seed the other maybe from Keiki?
b. Location of Business, like a pint of beer in the UK being 2 to 3x the price in London compared to anywhere else?
c. Business Over heads. The base cost of fertilizer, potting medium etc, the pot it come in?
d. ...And quality?
e. Extra profit.

....Still that is a bizarre jump in price!

I know, right?!!? I just thought I would check out another vendor (I ALWAYS check around to find good deals/reviews, no matter what I'm buying) and HOLY COW!!! $100 difference!?!? Are BigLeaf's really that amazing? I guess it's possible.

One reason is because Big Leaf's offering is a special line bred plant. It has been bred for more compact stems, thus closer flowers, making for a "bunching habit".
