I'm not the one that buys these alot....I have one that has survived my care. But I like this one! The tinge of pink here and there just is so pretty. Nice one!

Thank you for posting this link!
I know that the man it was named for is a retired priest. He worked with children here in Ecuador, and was a passionate orchid hobbyist. He would share plants with wealthy collectors who contributed to his various social programs. From all accounts, a great man.
Wow, another recently discovered Phrag. and it's a beauty! Thanks for the post Duane!
