Great color! I love the waxy bloomed phals, they usually last so much longer than other phals. 5 months is impressive even by phal standards!

I'll go check out Vacherot's website! He tends to have expensive plants, but maybe I'll get lucky. Funny about the one named orchidoudingues. I wonder if it was named after the forum, or the forum named after it.

Camille : it was named after the forum...I guess they are running out of it but they think of putting it back to growing as so many people want one (it's a gorgeous and very slow one) As for the prices I think they are ok still for the quality of the plants. I had that one (still young )for 15 euros . In general ,prices in France are quite expensive for orchids ..
