Alexandramou:

It's not a commonly available orchid for sale there?

Delonix,
You have got to be kidding me!!!!
The first time I went to buy a Phal Orchid......they wanted 70euros...and still in most florist shops they are very expensive. You can buy them for 15euros if you know where to go...even Lidl's has great prices. They try very hard to rip us off over here.

Alexandramou:

I guess I better not say how much the hundreds of thousands of available orchid hybrids cost here.

I've actually gotten many orchids for free from neighbor's and friends. :>)

It's an unusual colour Delonix. Ten minutes googling came up with not one Delonix!

Meanie:

This color is quite common here. I'll have to get some photos posted for you.
