Hi, I noticed that all of the phals at lowe's were labeled Phal. Amabilis or Phal. Wedding Promenade. I don't think that those are the correct names. Phal. amabilis is a species, so when it blooms, if you can get a close up of the bloom, someone will be able to help you identify if it is possibly amabilis. I know that kmarch will know something about this. I have a few plant from Lowe's and they are growing nicely for me good luck.

Laurel Lea Baldan is gorgeous, I want one of those for my collection.

If you do a search, look for cattleya sheath, ther are a couple of threads that show where the spike will start.
