Awarded as Grande 'Paige Malito' AM with all the name changes to the long petalled Phrags this is now Wossener Super Grande if I'm correct. Not blooming as well as in the past:

Here is another Phrag Grande. Grande 'Monroe' I'm not sure which species was used in making this old clone. Can anyone help out? Colors aren't as strong as in the Paige Malito clone

:clap::clap::clap: These are grand phrags any way one puts it! :clap::clap:
My Wossner Super Grande is in bloom now & looks exactly like the one on the left.
 
Those are gorgeous plants and flowers!
But in my opinion, it is a little bit more tricky than just changing a name for me?…
It is very difficult to make a sure identification from a cross by the appearance.
A very subjective game!
I think than old Grande should be keep as 'Grande' if the originator of the specific cross is not found to confirm the species use in the cross.
 
OK, thanks Jean-Pierre. I was just thinking out loud. I haven't messed with any tags.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
