I did repot all mine in bark, and they had generally good roots. I was overall pleased with the robustness of the plant/roots and the price.

Now blooming: Paph barbatum v nigitum 'Pigmy'

It's about 10" tall total, and a nice long-lasting flower that's been going about 4 weeks now. Really love the purple and green tones in the dorsal sepal.
