What are the odds

[The Mutant]

of walking out of your local store, sauntering over to the display window of the little florist shop across the tiny square, and there spotting one Phalaenopsis hybrid you never thought you would ever lay eyes on in your life?

I don't know the odds, but one thing is for certain, tomorrow I'm going to buy a Phal. Hilo Lip, or at least a hybrid that looks like one, anyhow I don't care! I love the dark pink flowers with their almost pure white lips!

So, despite the flowers being big (which I normally don't like) I will add one of these darlings to my collection tomorrow.

I'll post pictures of it as soon as I've brought it home!

EDIT:

Here it is! My newest darling! And MAN, look at those roots! I don't think it's a P. Hilo Lip, but rather a similar hybrid, but it doesn't matter, it's gorgeous anyway.

This is now my largest Phal (except the size of the leaves, I have two that beat it in that area) in all categories. It's just...wow...
