Phrag. pearcei var. ecuadorense in bloom
 

My Phrag. pearcei var. ecuadorense is blooming for me for the first time. I got this a year ago from a friend who was too ill to care for his orchids. After re-potting and treating for scale, it seems to be happy. There are two buds behind the bloom and another spike coming along. This one really likes to be kept wet.

A beauty. Good growing.

The flower is very beautiful. Are you growing this one in cool condition.

That is real nice!

Very pretty! I don't know much about phrags but I've never seen one with narrow leaves like yours. It's a nice looking plant.

This is probably the only "must have" Phrag on my list because of its small stature. Yours is really nice!

Thanks everyone. This does have quite a low profile, but it's rhizomes do travel a bit. It's a nice plant tho. From what I read, it needs more moisture than many Phrags and at times in nature is submerged under high flood waters on river banks.

It gets rather warm conditions in summer in the greenhouse of approx. max. 90 or 95F on hot days and evenings of 70F. In the winter the greenhouse is heated to 65F in the day and 55F at night. I see in OW it can take quite cool temps in winter. Mine grew well even in the heat of summer.

Wow! Fabulous!

I thought I would add an updated photo of this. It is on the 2nd and 3rd blooms on the first spike with at least 2 more buds coming. The 2nd spike is on its first two blooms and more buds in progress. It only keeps two blooms on the spike at a time. the plant at the moment has 11 or 12 new growths developing as well!

Very Nice Photo too-Love it :)
