Phrags with very long sepals?
What species should a person look for, either as a plant or a parent in a hybrid, to find Phrags with the longest sepals?

Hi Sue! There are quite a few. Some of the longest are:
Phrag. caudatum
Phrag. lindenii
Phrag. wallisii
Mont Fallu, Green Dragon, Majestic Tresses, and Tall Tails are some of the hybrids that have this trait.
Are you going to get one???  |

Thanks Shannan 
I knew about the caudatum but not the others.
No, this is not for me...Phrags and I do not get along 
My friend Linda is doing well with hers and she (like me) really likes the ones with the longest sepals. I told her I'd get some info from the great folks at OB

Sue, try Phrags in S/H... I always thought I would never make it with Phrags, then my partner gave me one Phrag Jason Fischer (he just liked the name ) and I put in S/H: Already 6 month with me, two new groth and still alive!!! Then I decided to buy a Phrag wallisii, and it is also doing great in S/H after 5 months... they should bloom next year

Someday I might decide to try them again...but I've managed to kill the two I had 
With so many others to care for and enjoy, I don't mind just enjoying the Phrags of my friends |

Paul, it is a great Plant... I know it from the wild in Venezuela, growing in the Andes... it can become a very large plant though...
