I started a new post now that they are open. You can see a little of both parents in the flower. The petal are 10 inchs long and the whole plant is 27 inchs tall. I will keep adding updates to this post now that they are open. Hope you all enjoy :Party: :Party: .

Swweeet! Eric! It is such a nice combo of the two~

I love the dorsal and the petal twist. Really nice hybrid!!

Wow, that looks great! I wonder how that would do under fluorescents..

Obviously Eric can speak better to this, but from what I recall, it is a rather tall spiking hybrid. :?

Hi TADD that is where I have mine growing in a 90 gallon tank that I converted for my orchids with 2-40watt tubes and 2-65 compact tubes .

Thanks Heather, I also really like the colors.

I love this hybrid! Very nice!

That is one neat hybrid! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
I finally ordered a klotzcheanum as it is one of my favorite Phrag. species...growths are almost tougher than Neofinetias, and unlike any other Phrag that I know of.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Jon

very nice :clap2:

Jon, I am thinking about getting a neo, but know very little about them. Can you explain what you mean? Do you mean tough as in hard to kill, or tough as in tough to bloom or keep alive?
Thanks.

Eric, very nice plant. I try not to look at Phrags, so that my wishlist stays manageable...

very nice cross! :clap:

Must have missed the end of this thread, sorry Marcus. What I was refering to was the physical leaf itself. They are very rigid like a cattleya leaf, and the plants look similar to Neos when young. The roots are also more rigid than most Phrags I've come across and all in all it is a very neat species.

As for the Neos, I've got a few varities and I just love them. I've got a variegated one, a yellow flowered one, a bean leaf one, and one with near blue flowers similar to the coloring of the hybrid Neostylis Lou Sneary. They are easy to grow, I use sphagnum mounds on specialized pots for them. I guess I need to start a new topic now. Stay tuned.

Wolfcreek,

Nicely grown and I think the twisted petals are stunning!

Thanks
