Where could I find an orange Phal?
Hi everyone! I've been looking for an orange Phal Orchid for sometime now and haven't had much luck.
Anyone have any suggestions on where I could find such a beauty? I live in Vancouver, BC!
Thank you

I don't think there are any that look like a citrus fruit, but there are some soft oranges. Look for Surf Song.

OrchidPhile in the US can probably help.

surf song is great plant to grow and can get lots of blooms out of them.
2nd hausermanns... spend the extra few bucks and get the larger plants if they have them. You will have better luck over all IMO letting a greenhouse grow the plant out. Seedlings are for kids who live long and prosper.

The original poster lives in Canada. It is difficult to import orchids from the US, so they will probably prefer orchids available in Canada.

I am suprised they don't ship to Canada? I know little about the import/ export of plant material on the continent. Apologies.

Trade in endangered species (including orchid species) is covered by an international treaty, CITES. The paperwork - and fines - are so problematic most companies aren't interested.
