BLUE RIBBON winner Phragmipedium Mont Fallu

[firehawk1972]

This is one of my favorite hybrid Phrags. PHRAGMIPEDIUM MONT FALLU..

It had 5 blooms on it, in succession. When the flowers first opened, the petals are of course very short, flat and not twisty, very crumpled, like newborn butterfly wings. Over a period of about a week they lengthen tremendously and start to spiral..

It won ribbons at 3 local orchid shows and society meetings.

Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

Very colorful clone.

The cross is between Phrag Grande and Phrag. longifolium. So that makes it 25% caudatum and 75% longifolium.

WOW! The inside of the pouch is dramatic. I can see my
Phrag. budget expanding.

I have been growing orchids for about 20 years. It took me a long time to come around to Paphs and Phrags, but now I love them. I have dozens
