Phragmipedium 'Olaf Gruss'

[GuRu]

My Phrag 'Olaf Gruss' is the very first Phrag I flowered ever. It was a gift from Kyle when he worked as a shop assistant in a booth of an South American vendor at the flower show in Dresden here in Germany.
Thanks again Kyle!!
First picture was taken a fortnight ago with just one flower open.

The todays update shows both flowers open

And here are two closeups of the staminode and the pollen

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

I got one from Ecuagenera. If the flowers turn out like any of these, I will be delighted.

That is great that you were able to get it to bloom! It was nice to meet you at the show. That is a particularly nice clone, as well.
