    Thanks! No, phrags are easy! This one likes bright light and prefers to grow on the warm side. It is feed once every two weeks and watered once every week. It should not dry out completely. You should totally get one, Bill. I love the phrags we have.

    Cheers,

    Bruce; This is a totally awesome bloom. Its got things about it I love, like its a great shade of red and a inner pouch of yellow with spots. Now you mention with details how easy they are to grow! I have banned myself from all orchid vendors both foreign and domestic, and then you subject me to this. This is pure temptation sir........I may have no choice but to buy one and I will Blame You! AL

    Hey, Al, if you are looking for someone to stop you from buying more orchids, don't look for them on an orchid forum. LOL We should sometimes call this site Enabler's R Us!!!
