Phragmipedium Petite Queillette is besseae x andreettae. These are blooming for the second time from flask. I think all of the plants from flasks bloomed within a month last year. All were cute but I only kept three. Two are in bloom now, and the other is in bud. I will post it when it opens.

Beautiful! Love that colour.
How long did it take from flask till bloom?
 
Beautiful. I'd also love a division of one of those. I don't see much andreettae in them. Does it show up the size i.e. are they smaller than besseae?

The size is pretty similar to besseae. Some clones have more andreettae influence with a slight twist to the petals. Outside of the color, the influence is slight in these. You can see a bit of the andreettae in the base of the petals. There is a slight reflex at the bottom of the petals moving away from the staminode.
