Hi all,
Here are some first bloom Phrag. humboldtii sibs that I got in flask from Hengduan a bit over 5 years ago. I've kept 4 from the flask and 2 are in bloom. A third is in spike with a single bud. The fourth looks like it's going to skip blooming on its first growth.

#1 has petals that are about 50cm long. I'm not sure if they're still lengthening as I've been out of town for a few days:

#2 is at about 40 cm and I think it's still got some length to go:

This is my favorite of the long-petalled Phrag species.

It's certainly my favorite of the long petaled species, too. Small growing. Big flowers. Dark colors. What's not to like? These sometimes also have a fragrance to them, though it's questionable as to whether it's a nice scent or not.
 
Very nice! Breeding plans?
None! I could sib them I guess but I wouldn't have room for the flasklings.

That Phrag. has personality plus. I love it. Can
I have it?
You may not.

I can't pick up a fragrance in either of these, but I'm not good at detecting orchid scents.

Sell them to us! :)

I think it's hit or miss anyway with these and usually it's only detectable for a short period starting in the late morning.
