Very nice! Unusually excellent color saturation on this one!
 
And here's the whole plant in full sun, so flower color looks washed out. Phrag. d'alessandroi is especially well suited to try culture if you have the room.

Same formula we've used for many years, Eric.

- 8 parts Sequoia seedling bark (1/8-1/4" particle size)
- 1 part coarse perlite (1/8-1/4" particle size)
- 1 -part #3 size charcoal
- 1 - part chopped NZ sphagnum moss (1-2" length)

We use these particle sizes because the mix promotes good drainage. For adult plants or long petalled Phrags. we replace the 8 parts seedling bark with 4 parts Medium size bark and 4 parts seedling size bark.
 
Our Phrag. d'alessandrois - adults or seedlings-don't sit in water but are watered twice a week. Our Phrag. besseae are watered every other day, or sit in water depending upon the size and time of year.
