Hi again Wendylynne! I just wrote you a post on your keiki thread and mentioned a show in Santa Barbara in June. By FAR, your best choices (as a beginner) and prices will be at a show. I have never paid more than $20 for a beautiful, double or triple spiked Phal at a show, the average is probably $10-12.
If I need to order online, my first choice is Oak Hill if they have what I want. Normans has LOTS of Phals but are a little pricey. (
ORCHIDS.COM Your Mother's Day Orchids Source and Gift Certificate) These growers make their living shipping most of their plants and do a very good job of it; don't worry about the trip. They know how to pack them and won't ship if there is a heat wave or it's too cold anywhere in route.
I have both species that you are considering and think they are the easiest of my Phals to grow. My reasoning is that species culture is more exact, you'll know just what they need, where hybrids have many lines in their parentage and I'm not always exactly sure which line is dominate. I need to say also that I have mine mounted (don't let this scare you!); it virtually takes the fear of root rot out of the equation and mine have flourished. Keep in mind that species flowers are almost always very small and few in number, but delightful. If you want the large sprays of flowers you are used to seeing this may not be what you want at this point in your collection. Pictures are not good at letting the viewer know the size of the flower or plant itself, read the description. With that said, my Phal Bellina scents my whole kitchen with just four blooms. Let us know what you decide, there are NO bad choices! Oak Hill is a great place to order little species and at their prices I say GO FOR IT!
