second bloom on this plant I got as seedling from Fox Valley 4 years ago. Shape is getting better. Colour is nice aside from tiny blotch on left petal.
First bloom for this plant. I don't know where it comes from because this plant isn't registered in my files (a first!). It may be from JP Faust or from Ecuagenera.
The tag doesn't have the mention of the registrered hybrid name, so the plant is likely from before 2019...
The colour is very...
This is a slow grower for me... but this is the best of its annual blossom since it was out of flask in 2013.
It is growing in a mix of bark and perlite, topping of akadama for decoration.
Sorry I don't have measurements, but it is a the small side of my Phrags. It tooks a few years of blooming to get it to have a nice shape.
All of the plants from this flask have bloomed with this color.
Very happy with this first bloom. Plant from Sam Tsui bought 2 and 1/2 years ago.
It is grown in Semi-hydro with a mix of 50-50 rockwool cubes/ Leca.

Thank you Frank for your clarification. Sor)ry about my initital answer, I didn't realize who you were (🤭) and I was not aware of any change in taxonomy. I am keeping the original name given by the breeder (Woodstream Orchids)but I will put a note somewhere to remember.
Here is todays new flower (quick phone picture, no high quality) on the second growth from that plant. Too bad the other flower from the different growth dropped 2 days ago... no duet for the picture :cool:
Well, that post is a little old but it was reactivated just in time... here is the current bloom... the plants has grown slowly but is now strong enough to throw 2 spikes and 4 new growths at once. Flower is chubbier than ever 🥰
Another species that enjoyed the new greenhouse (compared to indoor) and is rewarding me with blooms
