There are lots of suppliers of orchids to Lowes, HD, and the like, and some of them even have pretty
good plants. I'm still a bit wary though - more based upon the retailer's understanding of orchid
culture than anything, but i have seen "fresh," inbound shipments that look like crap.

Well, I won't claim I'm a master at identifying orchids, but they certainly
looked like Aphorodities and from the company that Lowes orders from I
wouldn't be surprised... And They may be unlabeled simply because Lowes
knows absolutely dick about orchids and expects the people that buy them to
know even less.
As for root rot...I would have to repot them or inspect the root system to
know for sure. To do that I would have to buy them and I dislike Phals as a
general rule. But you may very well be right, and that would co-inside with
the theory that Lowes knows absolutely dick about Orchids.
