Overjoyed and dissapointed...

Those Paphs look nice I would be unhappy with the Phal as well.

While I was trying to find a particular plant I spoke to a nursary about this thing of plants coming and going. They said those that produce them produce masses of plants at once and basically flood the European market with them. Then they move on to something else because everyone's got the first thing so sales drop off. Then they flood the market with something else. They said old things can be found if odd plants exist that a nursery has not managed to sell, but generally they are limited by what the breeders are producing.
