I think alot of it has to do with location,location,location, there are parts of the country that have a lot of nurserys in a small geografic area, such as SoCal. and Florida,I live in SoCAL and about a 20 minute drive from 6 or 7 different nurserys includung Andy's.

BUT this one I got on EBAY from a vendor called shermantp. I have purchased from them before and their plants are just as they describe and they have good service.

I got this one from Eoom. It was my first fragrant Phal! When it starts, usually in the early part of the day, you will be pleasantly surprised. To me it smelled like bath soaps.
