Such a nice, full flower! I have one but it’s not like that 4N. Amazing.
lovely soft yellow
Really beautiful!! Very special.
Just outstanding!
Omg so pure.... my seedling from you last year seems to be surging right now. Noticeable increase in robustness. If I bought it as a nice small seedling from you, what might be your estimate of years to bloom? I have been growing Phragmipedium now for 3 full seasons, heading into a fourth and none have bloomed yet (plants started either as seedlings or seriously compromised cheapies from CBG postshow sale; I think plants look good, though thinking about giving more Cal-Mag).
From that size, I'd expect it would take another 15-18 months to reach blooming size. Sounds like it's really moving along. At this time of year with warmer weather looming, we are switching over to Peter's 30-10-10 for our fertilizer. We don't normally use a lot of Cal-Mag as a supplement because the Lake Michigan water supply is naturally high in both Ca and Mg.

I love the broad petals on this one, Tom, as well as that sparkly crystalline yellow!
