mini phal from lowes with label?

[Domenico]

hi everybody!
my name is Domenico and i have an addiction to orchids, especially phal orchids.

so i really should not be buying any more orchids....but i was at lowes on a sunday 2 weeks ago and this little lady caught my eye. When i picked her up she had no open blooms, but i was sold on her thick redish leaves and stong looking roots. Now she has graced me with 2 open bloom and i fell in love all over again

one of my more interesting phals i would say....so i know an ID of a phal bought at a big box store such as lowes is nearly impossible but this one came with a strange tag and im including a picture of it... any one have any ideas?

Hi,
Beautiful! I wish I saw ones that look like that at my Lowes.

Are there any labels on the pot or the plastic sleeve that it came in that would indicate the grower? I am not sure who they purchase plants from. If you found a name you could check their website or e-mail them for more info

Beautiful,hope you can find out more about it

thanks SJF and Fern daddy, label on pot only says 3 in mini phal with a barcode,

Plastic sleeve only has what looks like a chinese/ japanese writing i will post a picture later this evening will also post picture of phal that was purchased from same batch at the lowes a week later.... also very interesting. thanks again

Here is the other phal i have purchased at lowes part of what looked like the same shipment of plants. Further investigation by going to the store and searching the section of phal's i have found where these have come from

HERMANN ENGLEMANN GREEN HOUSES
AKA EXOTIC ANGEL PLANTS INC.


will continue my quest by contacting them and seeing if i can get anywhere, will keep everyone updated. thank you!
