I tend to disagree about Phals not being beginner orchids. Easy is a relative term. IMO, Phals are good beginner orchids if you don't get the ones with pots full of crappy sphag and if you are aware of the basic cultural requirements. Maybe their reputation for being difficult is because nearly everyone starts off with a Phal, and it's inexperience that will often kill it.
