Omigosh, I love the elegance of this Phrag. Where did you find it??? I want one
right away.

Palmer Orchids. In Florida. They have a website.

Yay besseae hybrids!

Nice one. This is one of my awards.

 

[Michael Bonda]

Congratulations on your award. I purchased mine a few years ago and this is the first blooming. I have never entered an orchid in an orchid show but I am trying my hand on flasking.
My ideal long petal phrag is Schroederae but a nice Frank Smith will do. My mature plants of those two have not bloomed in several years.

Thien, I adore that orchid. Save a division for me please. Two of the Phrags. I bought
from you a few months ago have bloomed beautifully and another is in spike. Wonderful
plants!

Hello. Both plants are beautiful. I am assembling a very small collection. Mr ThienNgo I am also very interested in a division of this fu Manchu.
