Five years? How small was it? How big is the plant?

Congrats on lovely flower!

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice. Worth the wait.

That's cute. A great species and congrats on the first blooming.

Oh yeah, that's worth five years of anticipation!

Congrats on lovely flower!

It was slow for a few reasons. I bought it as a small seedling and it was early on in my orchid growing. So I definitely underwatered it and didn't give it enough light.

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

Oh, and I forgot to answer that at the widest point the leafspan is about two feet. But of course the leaves are very grassy so it seems smaller.

Tacking on to this old thread. My photos aren't as nice but I'm very happy this bloomed. Only my third reblooming of a phrag. I didn't wait five years but I did wait a year and a half on a multi-growth plant...PLUS the plant I received, with all those growths, had 95% dead roots, and this plant has great roots now. So success all around :rollhappy:

 

[SlipperFan]

Good for you!
