Wow, major improvement on the color! The first one wasn't all that bad, if you like pastels. How long does each bloom last, and how many does a spike produce?

[quiltergal]

Each bloom lasts around 3-4 weeks, and this spike had 6-7 flowers on it. This is the kind of plant I don't mind spending time caring for. I get a lot of bloom time for my effort. This will be a favorite for years to come.

I'm starting to think about getting rid of plants that bloom once a year and only for a brief time. As busy as I am they just aren't worth the effort.

WOW!
Beautiful either way, but I really like the deeper color that was produced with the cooler temps.

Couldn't agree with you more - I will always have a variety of orchids but the Phrags do give the biggest bang bloom-wise. Their only drawback is the amount of space you need to grow them.
Beautiful bloom shape and either pastel or suturated, they are both lovely!
