Wuh oh, I'll have to do some research before I get too enthusiastic about
Phrags. Eric, would you recommend an easy first Phrag. for a warm greenhouse (low temp. 60F/ high temp. mid-80s), high humidity, very good
air movement, Paph.-Phal. light?

Any good sized hybrid should be OK. What do you like, red, yellow, orange, purple, green, brown, round shape, long petal, shiny bloom, pubescent, ...? Just be carefull not to rot the media around the roots and not to let water sit in the leaf axels. As with any orchid, get the largest, strongest plant you can. A really strong, easy hybrid is Cape Sunset.
 
Thank you, NYEric. I'm writing that name down. I really like the peachy
pink. I'm not really a bright red lover and I don't have room for the looooong petals, although they look very nice. I can just see those long
petals getting snagged on something/anything and pulling the whole plant over. Terrible vision!
