Well, I'd been doing well by not purchasing any new orchids since September... until today! I received a flyer from a local orchid nursery. They specialise in Paphs and Phrags, and I am sorely temped by a couple of the Phrags, even though (or because!) I don't grow any of them yet.
I've read through the previous threads on the best Phrags to start out with... and wondered if anyone could help me by confirming that these choices would be okay to start out with.
Flowering size division:
Phrag.
pearcei 'Eagle'
Seedlings near flowering size,
Olaf Gruss (
besseae x
pearcei)
Silver Rose (Saint Ouen
(using forma flavum) x Hanne Popow 'Isle of Jersey')
And if I'm feeling brave,
Cape Sunset (
schlimii 4n x Eric Young)
OR
Grouville (Eric Young 2n x Hanne Popow 2n)
OR
Mont Fallu 2n (Grande 4n x
longifolium 2n)
OR
Saint Peter 'Cornish Cream' (Eric Young 4n x
longifolium 4n)
OR Sorcerer's Apprentice 4n
Of the last 5, I think I like Saint Peter the best...
