Ooo, more phal people, that's great!! 
I have pulchra, ambionensis, lueddemanniana, schilleriana, 3 standard equestris, equestris 'dark', equestris semi alba, mannii 'chocolate', deliciosa, parishi and 4 primary hybrids. Like you Merlyn I haven't seen many of these in bloom yet, they're either too new or too young.
I want a speciosa 'C#1' like Terri, but they sell out quickly, so I really have to keep an eye out at my favorite growers. My new obsession lately is collecting equestris primary hybrids. Like I wrote above I have 4 of those, and know where to get at least 12 more crosses!

Never heard of a mannii alba, what's the color of it? (really white, or more yellow-cream colored?) I have a mannii 'chocolate' which is yellow and a nice rich brown.
I'm more and more thinking that the next OB plant project next year should be a Phal project of some sort. That would be fun!

Camille, I almost lost my speciosa 'C#1' to the micro fungus I've been battling all summer. It lost all but one leaf.  However, it quickly shot up a new one that looks good. No sign of the fungus. Hopefully I'm done with that.
I think my next purchase will be an amboinensis, and an equestris var coerulea or an aurea.
I've been told by more than one person that if the flower color is yellow not white then it should be labeled as var flava, not alba. My corn-cervi came labeled as var alba but it is as yellow as a sunflower. Seems the terms alba and flava are frequently used interchangably by growers, and not necessarily correctly.
