Same big roundish leaves. The spike is taller and it has multiple flowers but the smell is the same and the colors are very similar. I just fell in love with it. It is from the Taiwan vendor called Orchis Floriculturing, Inc. and is just called Phal 'Sweet Memory'. Those flowers are over 2.5" across!

Thanks Sue. I'm on a hunt now. I did a quick search and so far, notta! I'll be shopping the on the net today, looking though. Gotta have this one!

Again, they're all beautiful!

Beautiful blooms! I think they all are so pretty that it's too hard to pick a fav! Great job!

Sandy, I have a Phal Sweet Memory that I got from Parkside last year. I didn't see it on their website but maybe you could try calling. I think mine was actually called Phal Sweet Memory "Bubbles". I've seen it before at big leaf too.

What's #8 name? I'm headed to an Orchid Show Friday and I may be in search of.

Thanks again!

Marilyn and Maree, #8 is a real cutie. Phal Nobby's Amy. It is a compact phal that blooms every year. The flowers are only about 2" but it has several.

Ethan, #6 is Slc Jewel Box 'Dark Waters'. One of my favorites! #9 is now a NOID since I recently realized it was mislabeled.

Maree, are you going to the Fairchild Show in Miami?

I knew it! But then I thought, nah, there are so many phals that look very similar. I have the same one, it just finished blooming

Wow Susan, that is a wonderful group of flowers. Hard to pick a choice but if it were a requirement, I would go for the C. walkeriana. Not only are they very pricy, they are also very difficult to find.

Way to go Susie!!!!

[susiep]

Thanks Suzie, Nichole, Jerry and Dana!

Yes, the first one is the C walkeriana v tipo x walkeriana 'Punani' that I got at the Miami show a couple weeks ago. I got it from H & R in bud for $40 which isn't too pricey (more than I usually spend). It really smells nice!

I also got another from H & R for $15, C walkeriana v albescens 'Snow White', but it is very small so who knows how long before I see that one flower!

All beauties Susie! Love the Appleblossom and the Jewel Box. My AB is white but I really love the yellow form. Very nice! Jewel Box has been on m list forever. Not sure why I never followed up on buying one. Oh yeah! I'm out of room!!!
