I got restless waiting for the mail man so I took this picture of my Phrag Giganteum (Grandea 'Giganteum' ('Gigantea' 4N X caudatum var. sanderae). This is the first blooming.

Woohoo! Congratulations! Seeing that you ordered three makes me wish I hadn't behaved and only purchased one....but I purchased two others from ebay back in January/February so I guess that kind of makes of for it...lol.

Al

I find that phrags are so easy to grow. They respond better to my conditions than my paphs. They just like a lot of light and water.

Oh how sad! Mine is shipping out today and I am hoping I will have it no later then Saturday. 3 day priority mail is never guaranteed for 3 days....wish it was!

Ok. I went from pouting to panic. I went downstairs for my ice cream and as soon as I hit the kitchen there was a knock at the door. It was one of the village postal carriers (not mine). He had accidently picked up my box from New Worlds this morning in his haste to get out the door and was dropping it off for me. I was grateful and then he says that my carrier yelled at him right before he came down because she knows when I have a package its a plant and not to leave it on the steps in extreme cold or heat and just to leave me a note and I'll come up and get it. Well lets just say that its a good thing that it was the neo's. The had been in his truck all morning and its in the lower 40's here today. They are COLD. Being they are pretty temp tolerent Im hoping they'll be fine. Its been a long week and my nerves are frazzled, don't need to add orchid drama to it. Anyways, here is my picture contribution. One of them was supposed to be Amami Island, but the tag says Amami Furan, I don't know if its a mix up or just another name for the same plant. Either way, Im happy. Its HUGE in comparison to the other one and the little one is the one I really wanted so no harm done.

Wow check out the size difference of those two! I am glad you got the Amami Island (or Amami Furan) I wanted to see the size difference. Thanks for sharing!
