Fabulous color and shape. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to the final photo of all the spikes in bloom. I hope you get to enjoy that one for a while!

Tucker,
This phal. is absolutely stunning. If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase it?
Do you have a favorite vendor/vendors for phals? |

Thank you for the compliment. This really isn't one of my favorites and I wouldn't recommend it. It looks very nice, close up, but it has small flowers on long spikes so the overall effect isn't all that great. I bought it from Norman's Orchids at Orchids.com. I've bought several very nice phals from them but I've also been disappointed in a few. You need to know what you're looking for because Norman's writes wonderful descriptions that make you think that you want every orchid they offer. Some of their best phals can be quite expensive also. |

Hi Tucker,
You are right their descriptions make me want every orchid. They seem to get some really mixed reviews. I have wanted some mottled leaf or variegated phals....one of theirs is $500  . Oh my!
Have you purchased any phals from Haussermans? If so, were they nice? |
