Greetings from Ohio! I have two Phals, one from an orchid grower friend and one from a Lowe's home improvement store. (The sales person was having troble selling the orchids after they had bloomed so she sold one to me for $5.) My father, my sister and I all grow orchids and various types of plants. However, I am still a novice when it comes to orchids so I will be asking plenty of questions!
