I have heard of this same "problem" concerning this hybrid from a grower in Florida. Wish I had some phals with similar issues............If I ever see this plant in my area I think I'll pick one up!

Hi CodiMN,
Here in the woods of central Maine there are very few places to find 'chids. This one I found at the one and only very small greenhouse that carries a few orchids.
I did see a listing for it on THE auction site recently.
Hope this helps...
