Another hybrid is Phrag Mini Grande (pearcei x popowii)...the name speaks for itself. popowii can also be found under the name warscewiczianum, though that is an old name

I'd love to see a picture of the whole thing!

Here it is. The roots haven't filled the vase yet because it was transplanted 1-2 months ago. But I see new roots growing.

I think I could try to get live moss to grow this way, if I could find some.

The spike leans forward so the bloom looks larger, though it isn't too small either. The petals grew longer since the last photo
