Phrag. andreetae (first bloom)

[tomkalina]

Here's the first to bud of the blooming size Phrag. andreetae seedlings that are listed on the Fox Valley website. I think it's really an interesting color combination with the darker pink suffusion of the outside petal surface blending with the ivory base color. The plant is pretty small in size - about 8 inch leaf span. I'll post again when it's fully open.

very nice. do you still have the p. sukhakulii compots and any other seedlings that could be compots? (for orchid club compotting clinic in feb/march)

 

[Cheyenne]

Looks good Tom. Please post pictures of this new species. Very exciting! Can you tell me a little about how you grow it and if anything is different from how you grow anything else? Is that in orchiata? Thanks

 

[tomkalina]

Charles,

Still have two or three sukh compots w seedlings that that will be ready for individual pots by Feb/Mar.

Cheyenne,

The mix is 1 part #5 (medium) Orchiata + 3 parts #9 (fine) Orchiata + 1/2 part large perlite+ 1/2 part #3 size charcoal (pretty much what we're using for most Phrags these days). I grow the andreetaes alongside the schlimiis and water twice a week.

Looks great, I can't wait to see it fully open!

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice! Waiting for the fully opened shot!

Tom! That flower must be open by now. Love to see it!

 

[tomkalina]

Michel - Sorry for the delay; we just got back from a Thanksgiving holiday trip. Here's the "fully open" photo. Nice wide petals, and color that's typical for the species.

I like it a lot! Are you going to have some seedlings for sale? How wet do you grow this one?

 

[Shiva]

Thanks! It looks great, but I wish the pics were larger.

 

[Jaljala]
