Diffrences between Phragmipedium longifolium and hartwegii

[youngslipper]

Hi All

Can anyone please explain the diffrences between these to Phrags and if they are diffrent species now and if hartwegii is still a variation of longifolium? Cannot find any good information on this? Any help will be appreciated. I bought hartwegii and am still deciding wether to buy the longifolium or not. If they are diffrent i will.

Hello,

Here's a link to a good article describing longifolium and its variants. It includes hartwegii as a distinct form:
