Those are all gorgeous, Ursula. I've been hunting for a Neo. Falcata for months now (trying for one locally) but I think I'm going to refine my search now to see if I can get 'Gojo Fukurin'. Lovely! Any leads on where I might get one? I even have a Phal with variegated leaves (although it seems to be reverting . . .)

Partly what prompted my comment was the local grower I've been talking about, who is trying to liquidate his Dad's large inventory. His greenhouse is full of over 2000 plants still, and most of them are small, and look pretty scrappy. They're healthy, just not impressive. It's a shame. He says many people come in, and will only buy a plant if it is in bloom. Me, if I have time I go around and write down names, come home and research them then go back and get 6 little 'chids for $22. Reminds me, I must go tomorrow!

A repeat of Enc. alata x Early Bird, I know. It's almost done but still so pretty and fragrant. Great value - this was one that came from that local guy and I gave one to Jim, too.
