Ken,
I buy your usual grocery store "Oh that is pretty Phalaenopsis". They cost $10 - $15 They are usually in every store this time of year. I buy them because the flower is so pretty. The flowers last through the holidays because I get the ones that do not have all the buds open. One lasted in flower until March once.
They seem to be doing good until the following winter. I even have new leaves growing. Then suddenly the leaves start to die and before I know it they are dead. It could be my (you heard this) I DO NOT LIKE TO WATER.
These are the ones I purchased last year.....
