For anyone considering buying this variety, this is a really good description of the plant. I just bought one from Hausermann Orchids and was surprised at the size of the leaves. The span is about 14 inches tip to tip. This puts it a bit out of scale with my "teacup" phals that are about 10 inches across. Still, the plant has 3 spikes, each of which looks like it wants to branch. I am really excited to see those radiant blooms!
