17 is not hoarding ...great find I have yet to have a named phal ...well take that back I do have a equestrious a friend gave me recently but no named hybrids all noids

It's gorgeous! and I agree with John, 17 isn't hoarding... It's collecting. LOL!

I know exactly how you feel though, my husband isn't at all fond of my chids. I have several compots, I've done some flasking, and have an overall 60+ Orchids... All different, and it all started with a NOid Phal!

Maybe you could get your husband in on it, tell him that it over joys you to see them.

I'm sure he can't argue with that!!!

Happy growing, and that is a wonderful find!

Thankyou for the nice replies..it's more of an inside joke he's happy that i enjoy them so much..I just started with 1 last august! I have 2 phals one looks exactly like schilleriana the other Ambo Buddha 'SW' unfortunately neither came with tags

but i just love them and their lovely scent.

Lol. I completely understand. I don't really mind having Noids, they are beautiful all the same.

Gorgeous phal for sure! Nice choice

I with you Mary ... You still need to find space, time and just overall good care to keep a NOID orchid.

Welcome to the forum & Enjoy you're new 'chid Mattryan

Hi mattryan, very lovely new Phal

Btw 17 isn't hoarding, it's scratching the surface......problem is the scratch becomes a constant itch.....and you just gotta scratch that itch.....again and again and again......hehehehe

Marion

PS; I'm waiting for the blooms on my first named Phal to to open.
