Phragmipedium chapadense

[paphjoint]

I think this is the first time its ever posted here
Quite similar to longifolium - but grows real slow
the first flower is a bit distorted -

I've never heard of it. Thanx for posting.

Did this used to be a variety of longifolium? I have a longifolium that looks identical.

It looks like my hinksianum (?) that is blooming again. I will post here if it's OK?

:clap:Never heard of it either! How does the plant size compare to longifolium?

Very nice and interesting, it is longifolium var. chapadense and we can see the caracteristic of the specie "the narrowly infolded lateral lobes of the labellum"

I think it has a really good potencial and I'm putting myself up for a division when you get one!

This is very interesting! I like the colours and the shape of the pouch!!

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice soft color on the pouch. Quite different from my longifolium.

 

[Greenpaph]

Interesting, Uri!

thanks

A bit distorted but stick with it, I'm sure it will get better as new blooms come.

Congratulations on the bloom.

Here is my Phrag hinksianum ( or longifolium v hinksianum). The pouch did the samething as Uri's. I have a question: has anyone seen longifolium branch before? I started a thread I believe last spring comparing this plant to my "normal" longifolium. I'll try to find it and post a link.
(sorry I had to use a flash)

The branching. note: this is the first time for it to branch for me.

Yes, some longifolium are branching when they reach good size plants.
The characteristic is very interesting on your hincksianum pretty much the same they use to describe the chapadense... (?) I've seen that sometime on my plant too...
All the hincksianum I have seen yet did have an almost pink ventral and dorsal...
Is it the same hincksianum than I can see on last year photo?

One in the same plant. It blooms quite often

That mean than it didn't have the inflated lobes last year?
Very interesting!
