They look lovely, landanew. That Phal. Sogo Lawrence 'F1982' sure is the hot phal this year. Saw it in many displays the Mass Orchid Society show as well as on the vendors table. Love Phal Sara Gold - should have snapped one up.

Those are both beautiful. Have you noticed the fragrance from 'Red Dream' yet? Mine is fragrant usually in the morning when it starts getting some sunlight. How was your experience with Norman's? I've always thought that their plants and service were both excellent. And what is the third phal I see in the picture? Enjoy!

Oooh pretty ones!

Both have great smell in the morning! I am very happy with Norman's. They were very professional the plants, as you can see, were as advertised, if not better. The third one is Phal. bellina alba 'Norman' (x) with a nice spike. Can't wait until she blooms!

Sogo Lawrence also is a very long-lasting bloom. I got one in bloom last Spring and it wasn't until late Summer that she dumped her blooms-- and none of them seemed faded at all-- just closed up one by one and she was done. She's back in spike though, now!

I am mulling an order from orchids.com but the prices are just a tad higher than I was expecting. Although I did find one phal I've been drooling over at a much better price than other sites. I'm holding off my order until I get home from a trip next week and AFTER another deep freeze.

I agree this is an outstanding plant, my only gripe is that it does not have any smell! And I have several plants, at orchids.com, picked out! I know that some of them are not great deals, but, I like what you get. I have yet to be disappointed in the size and quality. Some of the others have left me a little disappointed in the description of the actual plant that they are sending.
