Those are beautifully grown phrags, Brooke!

Thanks for the photos of both, Brooke.

Of course, mine still looks different than either of yours but I think it looks more like the Sedenii. After doing a bit more searching on the internet I found a photo of Phrag. Sedenii 'Roseum' which is almost identical to my plant. The link is:

Brooke those are absolutely beautiful.

Lovely looking Phrag, even if not quite what you expected. Could it just be normal variation of a cross, some looking more like one parent, some like another

It could be, Rosie. One observation I've also made by looking at other Phrag. Sedenii (and is what makes me lean more toward that as the proper ID) is that the synsepal is generally much wider than the pouch (about 1½x the width of the dorsal) and that the pouch on many has "spurs" on either side near the staminode.

I'm not a botanist, so the tag will stay the same, just relegated to the "ID questionable" section in my head.

Really, I like your plant - even if very longifolium-looking - very much! The flower do have character, very marked 'horns' and interesting colour. I would take it without a thought! Brooke's plants are superb, though, astonishingly similar in petal stance, and very nicely coloured. If I had to choose one - omg - !!! It is so hard over here to get either Sedenii or Cardinale.

Yeah, I have a couple like that. I love them, but just wish I knew for sure either way

I like it!!!! The petals are interesting because they are sort of curly. Good thing you want to keep it because I would have Orchid Board stalked you until you gave it to me jk.
