Hello from Virginia!

[David Pedersen]

Hello Group! I am new to this forum the proud owner of a Phrag. Besseae! I have managed to not kill it and it has already bloomed once for ten days. To my dismay, he dropped this first beautiful red flower today but another bud is about to open and a smaller bud has appeared as well. He is hanging out in my office with his four Phal. pals and an Odontocidium. Have a great day everyone!

Welcome, David!

Is this your only Phrag? Be assured that dropping flowers when they still look fine is just what Phrags do. Typical.

welcome from upstate ny! where are you located? I lived a few months in leesburg, where al's orchid greenhouse is located (great phals) though either I didn't know it was there or he hadn't opened yet. I didn't know about most of the orchid nurseries in virginia when I was there, but as I didn't make enough money to do too much it is just as well (northern virginia is very expensive)
