Gorgeous, Dave! Wonderful color on this one! I just love the species Phals that are star shaped and with barring. Beautiful.

Oooooh! Beautiful! I've admired this one for a long time. I keep forgetting to put it on the list though. Nice growing!

Gorgeous! And 2 spikes! I love all the colors in bastianii, the ivory background, the dark red barring, the purple lip. It's all beautiful!

If the weather holds for next week I should have one of these soon!

Hey Even,
I have one on the way also. You think maybe we shop at the same place?

I have a couple of bastianiis in bloom right now. They're wonderful, aren't they? Yours looks great!

Not this time at least. Mine is being sent for free by a very kind and generous OB member. Still bugs me a little that I'm not even paying shipping, just how my parents raised me. But my parents also raised me to take advantage of a good deal when one is offered to me! Besides, college students need to save every penny they can!
