Nice pictures! Thank you!

I've seen pretty much all of these, but the yellow lip is something new to me.
By the way, I would love to have that pale green/yellowish one behind the white phal with the super long spike.

You can have it if you like......I can't stop you....lol

I'm on the search.
I have seen that sort of light green phals before but the quality wasn't great, so I didn't pick up.

still on the hunt.

I'm not sure if you like Norman's orchids but I have seen an orchid just like that on their site. Ive heard from others that some times the roots rot from their tight packing. I have never had a problem with that until my last purchase. I noticed the last leaf was smaller than all the rest so I did a check and all but 4 roots were all mush. But other than that isolated incident try have always been amazing plants IMO. I recommend then.

They have a very high incidence of viruses in their plants, they have lovely ones but I would recommend testing them as soon as they arrive.

Can you tell us more about that? Any links would be very helpful. Thanks.

Yeah, Norman's have green orchid and to my eyes it actually looks even better than the one in the picture here.

It is also supposedly very very long lasting according to their description.

Unfortunately, I've read lots of negative stuff about them so I'm staying steer clear of them for now. just enjoying their pictures. lol

Here's a thread from a while ago where I tested all my plants and out of 5 that came out virused, 3 were from Norman's. They didn't react well when I let them know either.

On the bright side I've ordered around 10 orchids from normans and they all came free of virus.
So it's really a toss up.

I suppose... they have lots of nice orchids but order at your own risk.
