phragmipedium

I have recently finished a watercolour (painted from life) of my Phragmipedium Noirmont (Memoria Dick Clements x longifolium) in bloom. The painting also shows its' developing seed pod. The Phrag. is happy that it has completed it's modelling session and is back in my grow-house. ☺ I have...

I finally have some slipper orchids in flower this year, and they are all Phragmipediums! ☺ First to flower was/ is Phrag. pearcei: Second is Phrag. Noirmont (Memoria Dick Clements x longifolium): And third is Phrag. besseae forma. flavum:

I acquired this Phragmipedium hybrid yesterday, it had no name on the label. I was really attracted to it due to the pink hue with the green, that the veins are not too prominent on the pouch and the plant vigour. Personally I think it most resembles 'Leslie Garay' (caudatum x longifolium), or...

Just wanted to share my grow space and orchid collection. 🙂

First time flowering of my Phragmipedium warszewiczianum var. wallisii! I have had this orchid for a few years now.

Is my Eumelia Arias putting out a bud? The growth emerging from the crown has some light striations on its sides and when viewed from the top, doesn’t look “creased” like new leaves do.

How does one differentiate between these two hybrids of P. hirtzii and P. longifolium? P. x roethianum occurs naturally, so does that mean only plants descending from wild populations can be called P. x roethianum? And plants with a P. hirtzii parent and a P. longifolium parent bred in captivity...

Since some Phrag species can be grown with wet feet, is it possible to take this a step further and grow them near the surface of an aquarium? I have a couple divisions from my Incan Treasure that fell off while I was trimming its roots that I was considering sticking into this breeder box and...

I received these phrags from Ecuagenera about two weeks ago and trimmed obviously dead leaves, but the stuff I left intact is bothering me. Can I get some opinions on these? Phrag. Eumelia Arias. I’ve noticed it’s growing new roots but the browning I left is concerning. Phrag. Super...

Today I noticed this rust-colored spot on one of my Phrag. besseae’s leaves. Two weeks ago I noticed smaller spots around the base of the plant, which I suspected to be some sort of rot due to being potted up too high with sphagnum moss. I took the moss out and put dragon’s blood on the...

This is a first bloom seedling of Phrag. Acker's Beauty (Lindleyanum X Kovachii). I got this as a large seedling last year from Woodstream Orchids. I'll have to update the photo as it's gotten larger and the colors have evened out a little. It's quite a large bloom and i find the...

I've been an observer of the forum for a while. This is my first post. I'd like to share a picture taken at home of my first AOS award around this time last year. This year's bud blasted as I am trying to optmize media for indoor culture under LED and dry conditions. Water from a small home...
