Yep, one of my first two orchids (my daughter decided it was 'ridiculous' for me not to grow orchids and she started my addiction on my b'day in 2009) was the little Phal. amabilis formosanum var. 'Variegata' on the previous page. It looked a lot like those in your nice picture Ursula, but each summer it suffers and shrivels and generally behaves badly, so I've only had flowers from it once since I received it in bloom. (and all blooms immediately fell)

I'm going to try bringing the Phals and my two surviving Paphs into the house for the summer months and see if that makes them happier. Ken, do your phals live outside in summer? Surely you are almost as hot and humid as we are.
