I'm learning more and more about orchids. Wow 50 phals?! My sister also works at Lowes and she always tells me which plants are going on clearance. I kept my phals in full shade but one nearly died from the heat. On really hot days I would bring them indoors and put them back outside once the temps dropped. I think my previous moth orchids died from water sitting in the crown. Next year I'll definitely talk to Ken, Kathy or Ursula about buying orchids.
