I just received a C. Jose Marti 'Mother's Favorite' from Hausermann's. A huge plant in a 10" pot with four spikes. Anxiously awaiting the blooms.

Phal gigantea with yellowing leaves

It does not look very good. It has just one leaf (large) left and what looked like a root emerging seems to be drying up. I'm really not optimistic about its surviving the winter. :(
