On my way home from work today I spotted this little gem in a grocery store window, just couldn't resist. I just hope this one survives as my past record with phals is very poor,.....I've killed 'em all!
that is such a beautiful color combo!!!!
That is lovely. Good luck with it.
Gorgeous! I love that shade of almost blue. As for your past record, if you got the other ones at a grocery store too, they probably didn't get the best care there and may have had problems already when you purchased them. Even if you purchased them at a greenhouse, we all have our orchid ups and downs. We all have ones that do better in our particular region and home. Either way, if I were you and saw a beauty like that, I'd want to try again too. I hope it brings you many years of beautiful blooms!
Grocery Store or Gas Station, I'd have snapped this up too. Beautiful!

Thanks for all your words of encouragement, unfortunately I didn't buy the others at a grocery store. I pass this particular store twice a day, so it could only have arrived 1 or 2 hours before I saw it. I'll take this as a good omen and pray that it takes lessons from my paphs which are doing ok
Oh, wow! That is stunning! Does it have a name? I love it I love it.

PS - don't forget to check the roots when you can.
It's another noid I'm afraid, not that I mind. I have checked the roots this morning and found them quite tightly packed in sphagnum. Would you recommend repotting into loose bark while it's blooming?
