Super hybrid. I really like all of the green leafy material in background. It adds to the beauty of the flowers.

My spike got over 5' tall and I had to buy a stake intended as a snow marker. It outgrew any orchid stake I had. I wish I had counted the blooms because it seemed to bloom forever.

I wish those buggers didn't grow so tall. Today I'm going to cut off the tallest spike on my 'Living Fire' even though it is still producing more buds. After a few months the stalk starts to look like a spindly tree sapling. My 'Sergent Eric' isn't far behind.

I love phrags but so many of them stay nice size as plants...... until they start to bloom. I grow mine in Prime Agra under HID lights but move them, when they start to bloom, into my living room in front of a sliding door with lots of light. I tried tying one spike onto my curtain rod but it needed more upright support.

I have started buying mini orchids like sarc and neo hybrids. They are more manageable. Marilyn
