Phragmipedium Green Hornet

[Berrak]

Bought it from a friend early autumn after blooming stopped.
Replanted it in my Greenmix hydro system.
Growing enourmus. Started to flower 2 days ago.

Hopefully the dorsal will straighten up a little.

Lovely, and huge plant! It gets that from longifolium, I guess.

Beautiful! Could you post another when it's fully open? I want to stare at it! :rollhappy:

 

[JeanLux]

very vigorous new growths ; keep us updated for the blooms!!! Jean

Great photos! Mine is reaching flowering size but that might not mean much as I generally need multiple growths before my phrags will consider blooming.

 

[Berrak]

Flower is ready. The petals are much longer.
So this is the final result.

No light here now soo flash is a must
I hate that.

But I like the flower a lot

 

[SlipperKing]

That flash really brings the reds out! great looking Phrag

 

[Phrag-Plus]

That's really cool. I don't think I've seen a Green Hornet before, though I've heard of it for many years.

I haven't seen one either. It was used in a bunch of besseae crosses though!
