Phrag. Cahaba Earl Bailey

[Erythrone]

Phrag. Cahaba Earl Bailey (Phrag. Sunset Glow x Phrag. caudatum). Orchidbabies cross. Its first blooming stalk blasted last year so it is the first bloom I see for this one. It is the second plant of this grex to bloom for me and it is much better than the other one. Really impressive color and shape… and a true climber too!

J'y ai pensé. I thought about it. But it looks like the CEB is probably 3 N...:sob::sob:

Magnificient colour!

Can you share the lateral and vertical dimensions?

As you have two plants you might want to try growing one warmer or cooler than the other and compare colour seperation. While most folks prefer cooler temps to increase dramatic colour; sometimes warmer temps can heighten pastels with a desirable outcome.

Again, cest magnifique
