When I missed my orchids we had to leave behind in AR, DH bought me these at Lowe's (for HIS birthday)! All of them are NOIDS, but the tags on them showed that they were grown by Costa Farms in South Florida.

Oh, Jean, those phaiuses (?) are wonderful. I think I have almost given up on them but yesterday I saw a Dan Rosenberg in Black Jungle and came so close to starting over. I bought my tankervilleae with about 12 spikes, the next year even more, then I had rot in many plants from a wet wet summer (I now cover them from too much rain with tarps). I recently cut the rotting leaves and soaked and repotted the pseudobulbs and there has been no sign of life although they are still green. If I ever break down, I might get Tropical Ice or Grandiflorius Alba. Wow!

It's probably a long shot but maybe you could send your pics to Costa Farms for ID.

I will try Costa Farms. Thanks for the tip. My phaiuses spend their time outside in FL under the trees from April to November. They are potted in Miracle Grow potting soil and I haven't had any problem with them rotting. Try rooting the spikes after they bloom and in about three years, you will have another plant. That is how I got my "baby".
