This is one of my favorites also.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this one is also fragrant - citrusy sweet

My parvis receive about 3-4 hours of morning sun. Then dappled sun and afternoon sun depending on the location in the outdoor space. Here is a picture currently (3pm EST)

This will be an interesting one to watch. The flower substance is fairly thick, which would imply longevity. The substance is like a fuzzy brachy. However, it is fragrant, and my fragrant flowers do not last long. I will update as the flower ages. Unfortunately, I don't have any details on the...

I finally got one to bloom. This thing seemed to takw forever. Sigh. Well, now it is here. The color and size are great. The proportion are a bit off for my liking.

It's a little cuppy at the moment and has been open for several days at this point. However, I like what I see so far. it has a slight honey suckle fragrance when the sun hits it. The scent is not going to greet you at the door. Still, I could smell it while carrying it back into the house.

Henry season is here!

I purchased mini compot of this cross in 2016 not appreciating the time or space investment for multis. As the seedlings grew, I slowly sold them leaving me with one seemingly never blooming plant. Well, it is finally blooming. Needless to say I am excited, which is why I am sharing a preview...

That chocolate contrasting against the pink is striking. Now I wonder if I need to add hermanii to my wish list.

Also be sure to keep the humidity up. I use seedling propagation trays with domes. Over the course of 2-4 weeks, I let in more air and decrease the humidity in the tray to help the seedlings acclimate. I grow seedlings inside and underlights.

I deflask into a seedling mix of bark, perlite, charcoal, and oyster shell. Here is a video from Dave at Paph Paradise: Deflasking Paphs that shows the mix they use.

Very, very well grown.

I would like a random flask sent to my house. ;)

Great. I was coming to say transplant ASAP. The flask was jumbled, and the agar can damage the seedlings in a few days. That is going to be an excellent auction item!

When I tell people I prefer phrag flasks about all other genus I have worked with, they look at me oddly. For me phrags have been the easiest flask to manage. Even when they are neglected they can thrive. This is a flask of Fritz Schomburg (esseae 'Aztec Flame' x kovachii 'Drumlin Treasure' -...

I had not even noticed. I was just so happy they are growing. It is probably just the clones that I have and/or any runners are stuck in the pots. :)

I am glad I asked and was corrected. Ok, September 10 it is!

If anyone is interested, I would check out the listing soon. The deadline for ordering is September 1. Of course, @SelectOrchids can correct me if I am misreading the deadline.

It is staying. It is just an easy target for down sizing threats each year but it asks so little of me.

Stunning!
