Phrag Les Dirouilles (Sorcerer's Apprentice 4N x Grande 4N) first flowering for me. The plant was purchased last fall from Waldor Orchids - thanks to David for picking out a nice plant. Not 100% sure on how to measure the flower size. The lateral petals are 7 inches long and span a space of...

Thanks for the information. My flower has a ns of 4.5 inches. The dorsal is 2.25 in wide, 2 in tall. Your flower appears smaller but is much darker. My dorsal progressively lightens to pink/white at the top edge. Thanks again. Charlie

Paph Bella Luna (Gege Hughes 'Harvest Moon' AM/AOS X Skip Bartlett 'White Pepper' HCC/AOS) [HC2454] was another paph purchase from Hadley Cash at Marriott Orchids this past weekend. The ns on this is 4.2 in, 10.6 cm. Charlie

Paph Cupid's Arrow (Wend Valley 'Valentine' x Jenna Marie "Sparkle' HCC/AOS) [HC1810] is a new purchase from Hadley Cash at Marriott Orchids, Kernersville, NC. The complex paph bug has bitten ! The ns is 4.4 inches, 11 cm. Charlie

I'm new to phrags -- But still would never have expected white with purple markings - fantastic ! Charlie

Phrag After-Glo update An updated photo. The second bud opened and we had two flowers for a few days, then the first dropped. There is a third bud developing so we will have flowers for a few more weeks.

I like the cross of Terry Jarvi and Killarney Gem also. I think the white border on the dorsal highlights the rest of the colors. Charlie
