So, I know it's a Phal, but do you know what it is beyond that? Nice haul, by the way.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

By the way (and just a hint) keep the clear pot, dump the sphagnum, but totally keep the clear pot! Watch for moisture on inside pot. Soak the plant totally then wait till the moisture beades leave the inside of pot and roots turn back to white, before watering again. Great way to assure your plant will "make it".

Enjoy your gift!
