Piping Rock Phrags.

[abax]

I received my order from Glen this afternoon...a schlimii and a Randy
McDonald. Both plants are beautiful and so well packed that the potting
medium was perfectly in place. I'm very impressed. :clap: I'll be doing
more business with his business! I also traded a Paph. lowii for a Phrag.
Cape Sunset that is huge and has a spike...gorgeous plant. Thank you,
Adam D. After seeing what really well-grown Phrags. look like, I'm considering composting the three beat-up bessae I have and never looking
back.

Keep trying with those besseae. They can be difficult but hopefully you will learn a lot trying to keep them alive.

For me the hybirids grow much bigger/better than straight bessae so don't give up on them.

Glen has great plants (and is a super nice guy to!) Nice choices!

 

[AdamD]

No problem, hope it likes you better than me. I love the lowii, got it potted up and looking good! Great trade.

Yes Piping Rock has nice plants. There are 3 Paphs that I saw in Montreal but I will wait until a USA show to get....

 

[abax]

Well Eric, what Paphs.? Did you have a good time in Montreal and eat lotsa
goooood food?

Everyone is right about learning from the beat-up bessae and new growth is
coming in clear of damage, but they look sooo pitiful next to Glen and Adam's beautiful plants. I noticed that my bessae have a lighter leaf
color, so perhaps they're getting too much light. That area of the greenhouse is slightly brighter than the Phal. bench...hmmmm.

Without photos, I find this all hard to believe.
