Does anyone have comparison photos of a Phrag pearcei plant in particular the leaves, compared to say Grande, caudatum etc.

Mine look unusually narrow and dark green

Yes their leaves are a lot narrower than those of caudatums, almost grass like foliage. I think the leaves are quite attractive even when the plants are not in bloom.

Gideon, I posted a photo of my Phrag ecuadorense (very similar to pearcei) in the Phrag Gallery. Here is the LINK (http://www.slipperorchidforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=49250#49250)

I have a little pearcei compot.
They've grown a bit since this photo, but they are very narrow and green, the leaves.
Very cute little plants!

Those pearcei do look good Heather!

Pearcei leaves generally don't get much wider than a 1 - 1.5 cm wide. The biggest species in this group is probably richteri/amazonica that could have leaves about 2cm wide.

Thanks, Dad! :) Though they're much bigger now though, I should take a newer pic. Probably I should break them up, but they just seem so happy together.
