This primary hybrid is lindleyanum var kaieteurnum x pearcei var ecuadorence. This is a typical central American phrag that is a sequential bloomer that loves lots of rain water and low levers of fert. It blooms every year and each flower lasts for about three weeks.

Thanks Carkin.
It's quite large... The florescense is about two feet above foilage but a steady grower and bloomer that I divide every two-three years.
Wish all my orchids were as cooperative.

Nope.
I used to trade heavily and volunteer within SOOS (S Ontario Orchid Society) but never any outside of Province trading.
I am also a member of the Slippertalk web forum and I do donate plants each year to the plant auctions (used to raise funds to maintain the web site). Two of my donated paphs have ended up in Alberta and Manitoba.
I am hoping to trade some orchids for CPs, but have yet to figure out what to make available for trade. I will likely have about a dozen dendrobiums, a few paphs and one or two phrags.
The biggest challende to trading orchids is the cost of shipping (as some plants can be quite large compared to CPs.
