Silva orchids may not have a red phal, but they have the most beautiful Christmas red Potinara Redheart "Neptune" that I ever saw. Carter and Holmes wanted $75 for their red one, but Silva only wanted $35. My plant is fully grown now and I get six or nine gorgeous red flowers every year. Parkside is well worth the effort to see. The six greenhouses are all neat and clean, and the plants are meticulously well groomed. The staff is very patient and helpful. They have far more plants than they list on their website. Thirty-five dollars may seem like a lot of money, but a healthy plant doesn't require money spent on insecticides and weeks of trying to eradicate a seige of insects or weeks of trying to coax roots on a plant that was overwatered, or months of patiently waiting for a flower spike.

Its always a fun time. Hope to see some of you there

I moved it from part shade to take this photo. When I go for full sun? It seems to die back in summer. This plant is a 4 years old red radicans and was one single stem "on sale cheap" marked down. Others like a purple I had cats killed. For the amount of green you see? It seemed heavy after all these rains to lift. I've seen around town 2 or 3' tall in pots this size!

Hi Elsa, no they are not OK with cold. I said I paid extra $15 to Norman's Orchids to get a plant in bloom and they sent me a plant without a bloom stalk even. And no tag. So, I would NOT RECOMMEND TO BUY FROM THIS SELLER orchids.com. It was not just one time - 4 times in the row. I was still hoping they will send me good plants. I am afraid to buy online after this bad experience, but heard that there are better sellers.
