I would love to get a copy of the book. And congrats on so many species blooming. Not an easy feat

Does anyone know who or how to contact the owner? I would the pollen of this phrag and make a cross

Thank you Tony. I appreciate it.

I mean, My ROth 'Knight Sunshine x taratula' was mislabeled and it cost me $150

Here is another picture of the phrag in all its majesty. 2 more buds developing and opening up. It is currently 78cm tall.

nah. The spike was extremely, extremely thin, there was no way it would even support the flower. I am fine with waiting another 2 years until the plant grows bigger :)

After 6 years I have finally managed to get a phrag to bloom! I learned that phrags require 2-3 times the amount of water of paphs, infact, let it sit on water. I actually have 3 other phrags with spike, but I cut them because the plant is so young and small. This Phrag Tate Olson i got...
