Neofinetia Falcata 'Hisui', any day now...

Oh, dear, you just don't have the right Phals...like cinnamony violacea and sugar sweet lemony bellina and hybrids made from these species. My Neos and Phals peacefully coexist next to each other.

I have a bellina, but it's a young plant and I don't expect it will bloom until next year at the earliest. Violacea is on my list, but most of my other phals are NOID hybrids and I'm thinking that if they haven't rebloomed for me after a year, I'm going to donate them to someone else who will enjoy them more than I do.

If they're not fragrant, or their color doesn't make me feel determined enough to rebloom them, then it's a waste of space for me when I could have plants I like more taking up that same space.

Exactly!

Random, I see evidence of a growing interest in getting more orchids...so I hesitate to mention this...but if you want to get into more fragrant Phalaenopsis, go to http://www.bigleaforchids.com. You will find listings of many Phalaenopsis that are fragrant.

Too late!

Someone told me about Bigleaf about a year ago. The problem is... I can't decide what I want to order from him. There are way too many options.

LOL! Yeah....that boat left port a long time ago for me.

[RandomGemini]

Give me time. I'll get there!

I found out about BLO from the sticky in the Phal section here...

It is a little beauty!

These are soooo addictive.
