Now I shall have to look for spaces to put them when they do come . No mini-phals though, my taste lies elsewhere today.
Yes, you have a greenhouse so you get to choose more, bigger orchids than I. I have a caseof orchid envy but the mini phals fit very nicely on my kitchen windsill and make washing up so much more pleasant. Happy Birthday shopping! - martha
