Absoultely chuffed to bits seeing as though this is my first Phrag spike.

Oh, how excited are you!!! Congrats!
I will probably absolutely just *die* on the spot when I get my one paphs/phrags to spike!


That is a mighty lovely phrag. you have there. I cannot recall the parents of Sorcerer's Apprentice at the moment, but I bet there is some longifolium in there somewhere...? Beautiful fan shape!

(Hey, look at Paphgirl, guessing right again! woohoo! I'm such a good student!)hahaha, sorry...

Longifolium x sargentianum.

I,m like a kid @ Christmas time .
It looks like the Fish,Blood & Bone fert i used didn,t do it any harm.
LS is now 38" & height is 24".
If the new fans are any thing like this 1 i,m going to have to get
a bigger house.

Hi Uncasteeb! What a gorgeous plant that is! I have a Sorcerer's Apprentice too, but it has quite a ways to go before blooming, I'm afraid. I can't wait until mine gets as beautiful and large as yours!! Make sure you post pics when it blooms!

Really great looking plant! I'm getting one of these tomorrow, as a matter of fact. Linda from Seagrove orchids is the speaker at my orchid society meeting and she's talking about phrags! I'm hoping they won't mind if I video it....

That's awesome, uncasteeb. Once it pops, I bet it'll keep blooming for you for months. Nice growing!

nice compact plant! i think you'll be pleased with the result though--most sorcerers are nicely colored with a pleasing contrast between the creams/greens and the reds.
