You probably don't want that one. I bought it recently from Norman's Orchids (orchids.com). It's called Phal. Tying Shin Cupid 'Maria Teresa'. I'm embarrased to say that it cost me $100. I'll try to get a better picture in couple days. It has a very nice shape to the flower. They say it's very florifourous and forms lots of basil keikis.

Phoenix Orchids has some oranges but they're also very expensive. Even more than what I paid. I wanted a Phal. Mary Lilian Taylor 'Desert Orange'. If you ever find one at a reasonable price, buy it. It's almost always in bloom. Phoenix Orchids has it in their catalog but I called them and they don't have any available.

LOL, you're right. I wouldn't want you to save a keiki for me. NOT! You won't believe this, I've labeled mine Phal Tying Shin Cupid NOID because it looks so much like this cross, so I can remember what it looks like when it's out of bloom. Hey would you be willing to bring yours to the February FLOS meeting to compare it to mine?

Absolutely, if I can remember to do it, I will.

Nice bench. I'm thinking of expanding my collection into another room if my husband will let me.... This bench would be perfect.
