Ray is right. Better yet, contact an orchid nursery in Aridzona and have them make one up for your friend. Better yet, give your friend a night blooming cirrus or something more appropriate to the area. But if you prefer to get them an orchid, I think a cattleya or laelia would be better. Phals don't take the aridity too well. Encyclia, now laelia again, Citrina are native to mexico about 500 miles to the south. I think a vanda would be better than a phal. Just my opinion.
