Currently in bloom
Pretty cool. What makes this one different from longifolium?
Here's a couple of pics of a plant I have labeled as Phrag longifolium "woodbridge x self". The flower is a young flower with a 16.5 cm span.
Maybe the woodbridge clone is also var. roezeli, but this flower seems to match the description a bit better???
This one a longifolium var. hincksianum for me....

Is var. hincksianum the nominal form? In Gruss's 2003 OD checklist hinksianum as variety or species is synonymous with nominal longifolium as far back as 1878.
I Googled to try to find out anything on the Woodbridge clone, but nothing came up. It's super floriforous, and grows like a weed. Anyone know anything about this clone?
Anywho...very nice Peter! :clap: Would you say the leaves are wider on this one??
Rick, the longifolium is not in bloom so I have no measurements for it. The hincksianum is like never out of bloom! The current flower is 4.5 inches but it is also more pendulous then the photographed flower. I also measured the width of the leaves. At the widest hincksianum is 3/4+/- inches and the longifolium is 1.25+/- inches.What is the petal span of those two flowers Rick?
You'll have to talk to Mother Nature and make a deal with her if you want different colored pouchs on these species!oke:Lovely both of them!!! I think it would be more interesting if the pouch had more/different colours!!! (just a thought!!!)

Based on the measurements my plant is very much like your nominal longifolium.
The flower I photographed is a young flower on a new spike, and the petals really hadn't straightened out all the way. It had a span of 6.5 inches, but I've had flowers that should easily be over 7" on this plant. The leaf width also matches your larger plant.
Thanks JP for the really cool "dried" specimens. You must not have kids!
