Nice! I am amazed at the quality I am seeing at some of these places. It can be very hit or miss but when you score a nice plant for under 20 bucks it really makes your day.

The first two things I learned after buying T5 bulbs was that I needed a fan and my orchids would need more frequent watering. Growing conditions vary so this may or may not be true in your case but...

It stands for Doritaenopsis. I believe it is a mix of Doritis and Phalaenopsis. Grow it as you would a Phal.

I love the way everything is so clean and organized. Makes quite the impact on first time viewers I am sure. When I get more space I want my setup to look something like this.

Nice! I wonder why the difference in color? Perhaps related to temperature. I have a Den Phal spiking but it has a while to go before I see blooms.
