Thank you all for the compliments @ Bud i bought mine like 3 years ago from a local vendor and their leaf span is probably like 6 inches but now the longest is almost 14 inches just one leaf alone so if you would measure the leaf span its probably26-28 inches long .Last year their blooms were actually upper 35 and lower 40S .Now all of them are more than 50 with the highest one like 77 blooms total so even though you buy them small and young when times comes it will grow and hoping that blooms gets more and more each year.I actually bought a Phalaeonopsis Schillerriana from normans orchids and they were big its called Phalaeonopsis Schilleriana var.Ma no.2 .Although they were big i was a bit disappointed because their markings i mean the silvery leaves were not as prominent as the one that is pictured here ,its almost like green in color but they have scent so it was fine.Nothing against normans i think their plants were exceptional i just always thought that all Schills have that prominent markings the silver one which is what I like from them their prominent markings .

right, that is why I am choosy about the plant I want....Santabarbara orchids have two spiked plants @ $35 and you can choose if you want the fragrant one or add $5 for another spike....they also have seedlings or near blooming plants or have previously bloomed plants....
I am still debating on what to get: the fragrant but unmottled leaf or the mottled leaf with no fragrance....I want the mottled fragrant schillie, heh....

Well done! I can attest to the beauty of this species...I have a few myself and if you give them consistent conditions, they'll reward you well.
