There was no white on the forward petals. The substance of the bloom
looked more like Ho's Fascinating Mirage. Small blooms but heavy
(thick) waxy petals.

I should have taken the chance and bought the darned thing. It will be
a while before I find another like it. I wish I had at least taken my
camera. I'll get a chance to go there after the weather lifts a bit.
Right now KC is under a winter advisory and expecting between 10 and
14" of snow. Unusual because it is so cold for that accumulation.

The grower has space in one of the old quarry "caves" so his plants are
"finished" to bloom under halogen lights with all climate controlled
conditions. It was an "honest" plant, with good roots in good mix.
Not the overhandled abused plants that I usually see. The biggest
problem I could see with it was the crown and leaves faced nearly
straight up. That is an invitation for crown rot, and phals are
vulnerable naturally.

Xi, I appreciate your help in this.
