Great pink color on a lovely hybrid.

Love the pastel yellow and pink.

Nice form.

Thanks for sharing

Do you feed at every watering? Very weak if do I guess? Also, do you have serious algae build up with this regime?

Alex,
I feed with Akerne's rain mix at every watering. But it is very light.
Into a full bucket of rain water I put a single level tiny scoop of the feed.
The phrags seem to love this. There is a bit of algae on the clay balls that sit in the tray and this probably needs removing about once a year,
Regards,
David

Thanks David, good to know - I grow Phrags in a very similar way but have never been sure I'm getting the feeding right.

Thank you very much!

plant or one like it. Hope you have a good guard cat!

He'll have to be good swimmer if he wants a piece. I live in the UK!
The plant was an eBay buy as something else, another kovachii cross.
I cannot remember who sold it to me but there are very few of this cross in Europe.

Thien,

Glen Decker has them listed on his website, Piping Rock Orchids.

It cannot be strong as the cat prefers to drink this water rather than the fresh stuff sat in her water tray!

Quite possibly one of the funniest things ever posted in this forum!

 

[NYEric]

BTW. When Pk was first used for hybrids is was also crossed with Phrag. Sunset Glow. Does anyone know of or have any survivors of that cross?

Best photo

Just checked and I never posted the best photo of this years flowering.
Still doing well in leca and growstones but I have added some bark as the mix was too free draining.

This year the flowers are more chunky and just under 15cm across,
