Yes, I did and the Den tuananii bloom looks as good as the day I posted it. It seems to last a long time.
Enjoy your new purchases.

edited later - I realized I had posted my plant as Den trantuanii and it seems tuananhii is the syn.name.

Nice looking Phals. The $11 one I got from Walmart is still blooming happily away at work with about 10 flowers still open and 2 more buds developing.

Just ordered 3 new ones from eBay. All types I haven't tried yet.

Paph Supersuk 'Eureka' Raisinpie Orchid

Cymbidium Ivy Fung HCC/AOS orchid hybrid

Blc. Pratum Green 'Boonserm' Cattleya orchid

So far, the only orchid that looks very unhappy at my house is Bllra. pasha 'Tropical Ice' Buds all fell off, leaves are turning yellow and dying. Think it may have gotten too much light.

The one in the plant files was mine. ( Past tense Sad )
This was 10 years ago, a Winter bloom
Btw that plant managed to bloom a couple of times in July outside - in Summer heat!

I don't even remember why I lost it, probably just a combination of errors on my part.

Sure hope my Ivy Fung blooms look that gorgeous. First time I've bought from that seller, so will post photos when they arrive.

My 3 cats and little dog just ordered me a late Mom's Day present from Marble Branch Farm. I am going to work on getting my orchid room set up today so I have lots of bright light hanging space for them.
