I like the phrag! It looks a lot like Paph delenatii, only better. I see that you got snow too, must be nice to look at the orchids when outside it is cold and white.

Way to go Jim! I like them all! I have a Phrag Cardinale with two growths, but no blooms yet...sniff sniff. Mind if I ask what kind of potting medium you are using with your paph's and phrags! Obviously yours are very very happy!

Hi Becca.... I have my small Paphs in a seedling mix, and everything else in CHC-perlite-charcoal mix, Phrags also. The Paphs get watered once a week MSU fert.3 out of 4 weeks, the Phrags I water twice a week and they set in water. Hope this helps. Jim.

Love the photos with the snow in the background. They would make good greeting cards.

What a great display, Jim! That Babyface is really cute! And the more I see helenae crosses, the more I like them!

Thanks for sharing these!
