i don't have any at the moment but was wondering does anyone in sydney Australia grow there Phrags under shade cloth for the whole year.

Hi Daniel,

I have a couple of Phrags that I grow under the same set up... on the patio...

Hybrids:-
Phrag Grande
Phrag Hanne Popow
Phrag Shroderae
Phrag Sorcerer's Apprentice

Species:-
Phrag bessae (the red flowered one seems to do better than the yellow/red cross)
Phrag lindenii
Phrag longifolium
Phrag reticulatum
Phrag richterii

I have a couple of others but they seem a little more touchy to grow than the ones above...

cheers
tim

those last two species you have listed where did you get them from

Nice group of phrags, Tim!

Nice Phrags, Tim! :good:

Thanks Peter, Peter :)

Daniel,
- the Phrag reticulatum I got during the Mingara Orchid Fair on the Central Coast... the vendor was P & R Orchids
- the Phrag richteri was bought during the St Ives Orchid Fair by vendor Stocker's Nursery

P & R have a website but Stocker's do not. I have seen both at the various orchid fairs around though... the next one around Sydney is probably the St Ives Fair in August.

i don't have any at the moment but was wondering does anyone in sydney Australia grow there Phrags under shade cloth for the whole year.
