This morning is cloudy with a few sprinkles, hence the shady appearance plus the gh is covered with 60% aluminet shade cloth over a thin coating of Kool Ray shade paint. So this part of the greenhouse receives approx 2,500 fc at noon on a sunny day this time of year. We grow all of our long petalled species at relatively high light levels all year round with watering schedules more like Paphs. than Phrags. i.e. weekly. In comparison, our Phrag. besseae plants grow in a part of the greenhouse that receives less than 1,000 fc due to an over-hanging pine tree and get watered every two days.
