Phragmipedium Ruby Throat

[gdupont]

Anyone know where I can get this hybrid? Orchids Limited had it at one point apparently, but I haven't heard back from them on it, so I'm wondering if it's possible to find it elsewhere. Or, does anyone have a division they would like to sell?

It might help if you put the parents. A lot of people have hybrids that were not named when they got them.

Ok, this is:

Phragmipedium (longifolium x klotzcheanum) x caudatum v. sanderae syn. popowii

Ok. Not me. Who made the cross?

 

[terryros]

It was an Orchids Limited cross and registered by them, but I have never seen it there or heard them talk about using it for breeding. That doesn't mean they don't have one saved some where.

The seed parent was Hummingbird (klotschianum x longifolium) which was also an OL cross and the pod parent is now called humboldtii (I know, fighting about the right name for this species still goes on but this is how Kew is currently calling it).

Woops - although Blue Nanta lists the parent as humboldtii, if you look up humboldtii in the plantlist.org which tracks from Kew, humboldtii is a synonym for what is now just called extaminodium.

This particular species has been horrible to get name agreement.

No offence, but plantlist.org lists it as a synonym for Phragmipedium warscewiczii (Rchb.f.) Christenson. A strange decision if you ask me. Not only because they got the spelling wrong. (Should be warszewiczii in that case.)

I will call them, Orchis Limited, on Monday.

Ok! I would really really love to have Ruby Throat, so please let me know!

Not an offense, Rob, to point out the truth. It is humboldtii subspecies extaminodium that tracked to just extaminodium.

Plain humboldtii tracks to warscewiczii.

There is also Phrag warszewiczianum as a species, separate from warscewiczii. Uggh.
