Orchids that say WOW - show us yours!
This time, the question is a little different. Show me a photo of one of your most striking looking orchids. It should be one of those that you say "wow" from across the room and do one of these kinda things: 
Here's mine:
Milt. Echo Bay 'Midnight Tears' AM/AOS |

This one had the "WOW" factor last year...this year, not so much  My mission for next year is to accomplish at least what it's already shown it can do!

probably not...there's thousands of registered phal hybrids, and many more unregistered ones. mine is probably just one of the latter. but it was my first orchid and it's doing well so I can't complain.
