Phrag. Sgt Eric in bloom
This is a cross between Eric Young and sargentianum.
This one blooms for me like clockwork and since it is sequential it stays in flower for a really long time, usually long enough that the spike ends up hanging over and touching the ground...

That's a really good question and I wish that I could answer it...I bought it from OrchidBabies 3 years ago and what ever they had it planted in, is what it's still in, though missing about half the medium  I kept meaning to repot it, but never got around to it. Now I'm afraid to touch it since it keeps blooming the way it is... |

Laura, it's very nice. Great color and nice spotting in the pouch. Don't be afraid to repot. I did my Sedenii and my Jason Fisher this spring and they both went nutso! New growth & roots all over the place. Sedenii is in bloom now and I think Jason Fisher is getting ready to.
