Hi Pete, I finally made it. I like what you've done to the place. That's a gorgeous Phrag! 'Must get me a few of those. Great colour! :clap:

Thanks, John! I'm glad you joined and welcome to the Slipper Orchid Forum. There is another IE photo I have posted below.

Look at all those nice fat buds! :joy:
I absolutely love this one on the blue background, I know, I say that all the time, but it's the truth!

4 flowers, 2 on the main spike and 2 on the branched spike.

Really pretty Peter!

Thanks, Heather! The spike is getting so darn tall and whoever says that IE is a small plant, they are wrong! This plant not only gets big but also grows like a weed.

Okay, here's mine, div from this same plant...for some reason I deleted this photo! Pete - nice branching by the way - I didn't understand that last summer! :roll:

There it is, not nearly as nice as Pete's photo, need to paint my wall! Still, nice bloom all the same!

:Party:

My new growth on my div has a new sheath! Yip yip!!

Congrats! Your first div from me in sheath for the first time, good job! :Party:

nice, I like the back lighting of the photo
