I was given Phrag. Patti MacHale. Does anyone have this orchid? Is there any good pictures of this Phrag and info regarding culture for this orchid?

This is my first Phrag

Phrag Patti MacHale is Phrag pearcei x Phrag sargentianum. I don't have one, so I don't have a picture. I also googled it and no pics came up. Since it is a primary hyb of pearcei and sargentianum, I would guess it is a high light and water loving plant. Hope another member has this hybrid who can provide more info!

I have this one and should have taken a new pic this year with 4 spikes. It is a sequential bloomer that I grow intermediate. It is by no means a small Phrag. The plant is at least 18-24" tall and the spikes tower another 2.5 feet above the foliage. It starts to bloom in late dec or early January and currently still has a few blooms on it. I am growing this one onto specimen size and have 7 new growths for next winter's blooming. I currently have it in a 10" pot. I water heavily during growth and less when not actively growing. I feed on a regular basis and grow it under 50% shadecloth.
The pics that I have are identical to the ones posted.

If I can answer any other questions for you feel free to ask.

With 50% sargentianum, I'm sure this hybrid will get really big at maturity.
