There is not much to say about the really beautiful things in life, Phragmipedium reticulatum.

No Rudolf, I bought them in Schwerte.

I got them in March with a tiny beginning of buds. I always hoped that she would make it. She did it. Even if she has a few little flaws, I still love her.

12,5% Pap. lawrenceanum 12,5% Paph. mastersianum

A sukhakulii hybrid with 75% sukhakulii, flowers reliably every year.

Update

An unregistered hybrid is blooming at my place right now.

Krull's Glacier is definitely the correct registered name of this hybrid. Mrs.White, on the other hand, is probably more of a trade name in Europe. Paphiopedilum Krull's Glacier
