This is the first time I'm saying WOW for a phrag...!

Oh, I wish I could see it! For some reason, the photos in this thread won't download. I just get red x's. :sob:

That's fabulous, Chuck!:clap::drool:

It was a "long" time ago in the '70s, and schlimii was rare at that time. And I suppose that there were few pictures of schlimii or pictures were simply not easy to find.

Ok, it's important to tell that.

But in this case, why to give an award if the judges are not sure?

That is a beautiful plant!!!!

It looks larger than a schlimii (compared to those I have), but I hope it is easier to bloom!!! Jean

I think that judges can't know everything.... Even botanists make mistake when they identify a species. And here we have a hybrid. Maybe it is an evidence today but it was not many years ago.

Jean,

Both the flower and the plant are at least four times the size of my Phrag. schlimii. This plant is very easy to grow and bloom, not at all like it's finicky parent. It also happens to be my dear wife's favorite orchid.
