Phrag Priscilla' Pirouette 1st Rebloom

[78Terp]

Purchased Feb 2015 in bloom. Brought it home and broke the spike off within 24 hours! Now 12 months later, it has grown well and has now started a rebloom. First of what appears to be at least 2 buds. The next buds are inside the sheath, so I can't really tell how many are there.

I kept it in sphag and I have been able to grow it successfully.

Pretty bloom and the plant looks very healthy. I wondered if phrags are harder to cultivate than paphs. Or are they about the same?

[78Terp]

Phrags like to stay wet. I have never allowed it to dry except when I went on vacation and I had no choice. My paphs I water with everyone else that gets water 2 times a week.

Great color and photography Harvey!

Beautiful! I love the Phrags and will probably get one to try this summer. Keeping it wet will be a challenge for me, but I really like them.

Leave it in sphag and put it in a tray that can hold water and just pour a little water in it every day and it'll be fine. 10 seconds! Mine makes it to the sink once a month on kelp day.

Beautiful Harvey! A friend has been trying to talk me into one but I always seem to kill plants that need to be kept moist.
