Phrag St.Peter

[Clark]

Our first purchase. My wife picked it out from Piping Rock's sale booth.










It has some foliage.




Should have 13 spikes when done. One spike broke when this was outside.
I get 12-13 flowers per spike.

Thanks for looking

You must get a work-out moving the thing. How long have you had it?

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow! Beautifully grown!

Thanks!

LC- we got this Feb. '07
It was blooming on one growth. The other growth was just starting.
This was divided four years ago. A third of it was sent to a lovely lady on the west coast.

It is a workout. November used to be notorious for erwinia here. Now I sit this in tub of water, and hydrate from bottom up. Plant is 100% saturated.
Need two hands...

Very nice, I love the 2nd photo. If you're using LR/PS for photo processing, if you want to turn the background to pure black, simply move the slider for black adjustment to the left until your background appears pure black.

All I can say is WOW!

Nice Clark. So what does the wife think of it now?

PS. I can't wait for it to grow up and really start blooming!oke:

Nice Clark. So what does the wife think of it now?

She loves it!
Christine did ask me why the orchids look better this year.
I responded that I switched fertilizer, and it took about a year for it to make a difference.
Now she runs around the house, in the buff, screaming K-LITE, more K-LITE.
I keep the blinds more closed than open. We have a corner lot.
Happy Thanksgiving Rick.
