Very pretty. Especially good form.

I really like seeing the variation in these! Definitely some that are standing out as the best but all are great in their own way. Nice job growing them. And thanks for posting photos for us to see.

Very cool video. Nicely grown. I kind of want one now. :)

Not the best form but it's blooming very well. The five flowers open are on a single spike. I got this as a tiny plant from Piping Rock Orchids back in about 2006. It was one of the first few kovachii hybrids available.

Beautiful form. Nice and flat.

Seems like there are less fewer and less fewer vendors to buy from anymore. (Fixed by the grammar police) I haven't bought anything from Ecugenera in the past few years but I don't know that I've ever received anything mislabeled. One place I've bought several plants within the past five...

Most phrags I grow have besseae in the background. Because many of those have an annoying habit of growing upward, I like taller pots to accommodate that better.

Seems like it would be a lot of work to put those in pots. Save yourself the effort and just send the tray to me. :)

Very nicely grown. Mine is growing pretty well but you're doing better with yours. Great job.

Very nice. I have several of these and love them.

Those look amazing. Nice job. Does anyone know a source for Lovely Lynne in the US?

I know Woodstream has an amazing Rosalie Dixler that has an FCC/AOS. I bet they have a good Barbara Leann too.

I've seen a lot of good Don Wimbers. That is a great one. I don't think I've ever seen one as good. Superbly grown as well.

Thanks for the informative post Ray! I have a few questions if you don't mind: How well does Hydroton work for you? How does CYCO Hydro Clay compare to the original PrimeAgra you used to sell? That is still the gold standard for me. Where did the original PrimeAgra come from? Thanks!

I would say "mission accomplished" is an understatement. Great job. What is your growing medium?

Hi, For 20+ years I've grown phrags very well in LECA and semi-hydro (S/H) culture. Now though, getting good quality LECA seems impossible. The previous brand I used, Hydrofarm's Grow!t, has changed to a junk source to save a penny or two a bag and I can't find any of the old product...

Very nice. The white in the middle of the flower is striking!

Did it have a clonal name? Awarded?

Hi Ray - I think it mainly the S/H culture. I can't remember who taught me about that? :P I think besseae and its hybrid do well in S/H. That's how I grow all mine. As far as lighting, I use LED grow lights in my basement (no sunlight available) to give them a little less than cattleya...
