Will this orchid be as good?....

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

If you're looking into getting some Phals from Oak Hill Gardens, then may I suggest looking to see if you like any of the following Phals to begin with:

Phalaenopsis aphrodite
Phalaenopsis philippinensis
Phalaenopsis stuartiana

The above mentioned Phals tend to have similar physical characteristics to Phal hybrids. In fact, the Phals in this list are often used in hybridization.

Tim, both would be fine, but I suggest you get one that is in spike. If you want one now, get the KV Beauty. Or wait until the BK is in spike and get that. However you may have to wait a while for that.

I've got a few Phals from Hausermann's - you won't be disappointed in anything you buy from them; my Wedding Promenade is still in bloom from last October with most of its flowers intact and 2 or 3 new buds.
