Almost too much to handle, Phrag Inti's Tears is a back breaker to move.A cross of Sorcerer's Apprentice and warscrewiczianum for this clone.

Sometimes the back of the flowers are just as interesting.

Nearly as large

Look how thick the newest spike is. No flower buds have popped from it yet either!

Super plants Rick and great colour on the flowers. The photos of the plants don't always do justice, especially the size, but that is a very big plant and I sympathise when moving it around. Wait until all your plants are that big!!!:rollhappy:

Thanks Gary but I think I would hate to see the day when all of them are this big!
I though about taking (trying) it to judging 2 months ago but didn't make it. I would have to lay it down in my SUV and put cinder blocks on either side to keep it from rolling a round! I'll see how it looks come the 3rd Saturday of the month.

I see a full size commercial step van in your future, with 9 feet of headroom. :poke:

I would'nt hesitate in getting it judged Rick as plants this size and quality just don't appear that often, especially in the UK. My view is that you put a great amount of effort and time in growing your plants and when they get to this standard, it should be judged for an award to possibly reward for your efforts. I'm slowly getting there with a few plants, but really, as I've only been orchid growing for a few years, I might be waiting a little longer yet but enjoying every minute waiting!!

It should be still going strong by Feb judging. I'll take it in then. Thanks for all of the encouragement all.
