Phrag andreettae

[Cheyenne]

This phrag andreettae I bought about three months ago. Well actually four plants. Out of the four plants in one pot I have three spikes. Only on is flowing right now. I have been lazy posting pictures, but I had to show you this one. It is almost pure white with only the slightest pink blush.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics

looks interesting congrats for this one

Well done, that's about normal color. Maybe you would get more pinkish is you grew cooler? What size were they when you got them and from whom?

Very nice, I'm envious, mine blasted 'cause of heat shock, fortunately plant is not affected and now there are two new growths with new roots. I would wait for more and better photos later, I think like Eric, colour will be pink within few days. Anyway congrats on this lovely species!

No, you can see the light blush in the close-up. Still, I'm envious.

I bought them from Pepe at Ecugernera. Not cheap either. They are growing surprisingly fast. They are potted in a 4in pot for scale. They were probably about 2in when I got them, then there next set of leaves probably made tham around 4 or 5in LS. I put a layer of moss in the bottom of the pot then fir bark, then moss on the top. So the pot stays fairly moist all the time. I do not sit these in water but water about every other day. I have seen others with alot more pink color. I don't think it is alba but it is alot lighter than most I have seen. It has not gotten that warm either high in my orchid room is about 74F. Thanks for the comments. I will get another real camera at some point so I can post picture without having to apologize about them.

Oh, don't worry about that, just buy more orchids!

Nice one!
Congratulations, it is not a easy plant to grow and yours seems to be happy.
It is one of the whitest forms I´ve seen.
In which light conditions are you growing it?
