New Phrag species

[camille1585]

It's a very nice looking phrag, the colors are just great! I'm amazed every time such a large orchid is discovered. They are so big, but managed to be overlooked for a very long time. Do you know where this one was found?

This is native to Colombia.

I cannot wait for this Phrag to become available. Phrags are slowly becoming my favorite species

Here's a quick write up of the plant.

At first I didn't think green and pink was a good colour combination until I saw the pictures.

I have been bitten by the Phrag bug...I'm still looking around for this one to become available. Nothing in the custom search yet.

Anyone have it?

Perhaps you could correspond with someone in Colombia or a vendor that can import from Colombia. Since it is a phrag species it will require a CITES I permit.

My guess is that this species will be a touch sensitive to grow, much like Phrag schlimii, fischeri and andreetae. Good water is a priority.

It looks like a favum or semi-favum form of schlimii.
