Phrag. Mardi Gras

[Drorchid]

Phrag. Mardi Gras is a cross between Phrag. brasiliense and Phrag. fischeri. It is blooming right now with 4 flowers open at the same time:

Very nice! I hadn't heard of Phrag. brasiliense until now. It must be similar to lindleyanum or sargenteanum to have such speckling on the pouch.

This is really nice Robert. Very pleasing colors and curves. I can suggest a hedge trimmer for that "unfortunate big" problemoke:

Awesome. Love it.

This is really nice... and i'd suffer the size issue to have so many blooms out at once!

That's what I was thinking, also.

Very nice!! To me, it's worth making room or getting rid of other plants just to grow this one! Love the high flower count, flower color and shape!! :clap:
