Phragmipedium longifolium var. album

[big923cattleya]

The included image is from the Grand Rapids Show judging yesterday. It is of a plant my team awarded. You’ll know instantly whose plant it is by the clonal name.
We had to judge this within the exhibit but I managed to grab a picture to share with all of you. We described it as a chartreuse flower with a slightly twisted dorsal. There was some green overlay to the sepals and both the petals and synsepal had noticeably green veins or stripes. Petals had one twist with a ribbon like edge. Pouch was a glossy green. Petals and dorsal had white margins.
Here is Phragmipedium longifolium var. album ‘Littlefrog Surprise’ AM/AOS! Enjoy!!

Of all the plants in the exhibit it was pretty much the last one I thought might get an award. It has been in bloom since August... Guess I was used to it.
