Phrag. warscewiczianum

[Trimorph]

After one year abstinence it is in bloom again

Phragmipedium warscewiczianum

The bloom is full matured and the petals have now a length of 55cm (21'7") and concurrent it's the first time I noticed a strenghten smell like urine when maturing.

Best regards,
Trimorph

[SlipperFan]

nice popowii.

or humboltii, depending. Who will have the last say?

 

[eteson]

warscewiczianum is the old wallisii. Everyone in the taxonomic world agrees in this point.

How big is the plant? Is it typically smaller then caudatum?

So beautiful. And great photos. Too bad about the smell.

 

[Trimorph]

Gorgeous.
How big is the plant? Is it typically smaller then caudatum?

The leaves are up to 30cm from the base to the tip.
And betrween 3,5 and 4 cm in the widest part and have a leathery texture.

I don't have a caudatum in the same age, so I can't do a direkt comparison, about the mature size.

 

[eteson]

Phrag popowii is usually more compact than caudatum.

Very nice and beautiful picture.

warscewiczianum is the old wallisii. Everyone in the taxonomic world agrees in this point.

Someone should send a note to Ecuagenera so they can change the name of their
warscewiczianum 'Dark' (or is it warszewiczianum?.. so confusing) to popowii/humboldtii
...

Silvan, Do you have a picture or that plant?

Silvan, Do you have a picture or that plant?

So what's the warscewicii fortuna? Is this popowii as well or totally different?
