Unfortunately all of the phals died within a few months of receiving them. I never contacted them about this but decided not to order from them again. I know others have received plants from them that have survived and thrived.

I've had the Phals. I've purchased from Hausermann, Big Leaf and Wilson Orchids as well as Trader Joe's longer than the ones I had from Orchid Classics and those continue to be healthy and "happy". Wilson, btw, is very reasonably priced. No website but he does attend some shows and sales and I've seen many of his Phals. for sale on the Big Leaf website.

Added: You can try to email Wilson and see if he has what you are looking for. https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...chids+list.pdf

Oh wow, that Wilson page looks great. Is that where all the various ‘Wilson’ nomenclature comes from?

Was that Classic’s a complete mystery grab? I am hoping they have too many of some species prompting the sale right now, pick three from a list of 15ish, and not poor health…. Who knows.
