Phrags sound alot easier than they are often told to be. Just keep them in a shallow saucer of water, how easy can you get Even easier than Disa which need a cool period.

From reading their growth can be trick to keep potted though? The new growths sometimes grow into the air and then they cant root. I've seen photos of them growing up a slanted piece of drainpipe to keep the new growths in contact with the medium.

maybe a one off thing for a certain grower.

I would agree paphs are easy to flower for me too, they dont mind shade, and all mine are putting out multiply growths and flower for a few weeks at least, which i think comes down to their tolerance of a range of temps. I'll have to try some species sometimes.
