Phrag Grande

[D-novice]

I bought this in bloom a little over a year ago, first reblooming.

The dorsal sepal is doing a crazy swoop to the side thing, as if the lip is an attention-hungry diva.

And the bottom sepals seem to have a kind of magnetic attraction to each other!





Sadly, I knocked off the second bud! :sob: But it's looking like there's a third not too far behind.

Too bad about the second bud, but good job getting it to bloom again. I don't know how old the flower is, but the petal stance might change a little as the flower ages since they continue to grow and twist for quite a while after the bud opens.

How big is the plant? There's quite a bit of size variation within the longifolium varieties, and due to breeding that happened before all the nomenclature changes in the caudatum group which also has a good range of plant sizes, I've seen clones of Grande that range from neat and compact to enormous man-eating beast.
