thats very generous! but its way to cold here to ship. especially if its a small delicate keiki. but once it warms up, maybe the keiki will have matured by then. and we could work something out. id pay shipping in a heart beat..... ill pm you when winter is OVER
that photo is just awesome! i love the pics someone from asia posted from their market. HUGE clumps of plant

Yours is well on the way to looking like that! I think I've seen tht pic before, possibly in the Moth orchids book by Steven Frowine.

I absolutely agree, it would be ill-advised to ship a delicate plant now. So I'll hold it for you and try to get it growing strong for the Spring sometime.

What a happy plant!
I notice that your plant has a slight tilt in the way the leaves are growing. I think this is much better for phals than being "straight" up as water will be less likely to sit in the crown.
I actually "reoriented" several of my phals and am having better success in NOT loosing them to crown rot

Several more have opened up but I won't take a photo until a majority have. Haven't smelled them yet either but hope they'll be smelling like roses soon!

Yes I try to grow all of my phals this way. When I plant them and repot in s/h, I simply let them lay down instead of being upright. I feel it gives a better visual effect, too. No crown rot for me, either!

Here's a link to the thread that had the awesome photo of all the root Keikis. The picture is from Big Leaf. Pretty cool!
