I love Phrags too. They seem to have a personality. Unfortunately
they are not too happy in my climate. So I only Keep ust a few.
I have to keep them in the coolest part of the
house. It is even too warm for them in my GH with the swamp cooler. They like to
live in spagnum moss that is kept quite damp at all times. There use to be only
one color type availble and that was the red/oranges now with hybirdizing they
have a range of gorgeous colors. I also have few paphiopediliums which are similiar
to phrags but prefer a terrestrial orchid mixed with a rich peat and a bit less dampness.
They like the cool air conditionong in the house too but don't need to be right under
a cooling vent like my phrags.
Here is a pic of my black orchid a paphiopedilium "Satchel Paige."
