Gorgeous, Dave! Wonderful color on this one! I just love the species Phals that are star shaped and with barring. Beautiful.

Oooooh! Beautiful! I've admired this one for a long time. I keep forgetting to put it on the list though. Nice growing!

Gorgeous! And 2 spikes! I love all the colors in bastianii, the ivory background, the dark red barring, the purple lip. It's all beautiful!

If the weather holds for next week I should have one of these soon!

Hey Even,
I have one on the way also. You think maybe we shop at the same place? :rofl:

Enjoy it - it is a great species. Everyone should have one!

I have a couple of bastianiis in bloom right now. They're wonderful, aren't they? Yours looks great!

Way to go, Dave! I'm really starting to love these little guys.

Kim

Right on! Thats beautiful! :love:

:coverlaugh: Not this time at least. Mine is being sent for free by a very kind and generous OB member. Still bugs me a little that I'm not even paying shipping, just how my parents raised me. But my parents also raised me to take advantage of a good deal when one is offered to me! Besides, college students need to save every penny they can!:shock:
