Phragmipedium Windsor Castle

[cpmaniac]

The color of this flower really stands out among my other plants. This is the third bloom. The leaves on the flower stem haven't appeared previously...



Back lighting:


Throwing in this photo of La Vingtaine. It illustrates the slight color break I'm seeing in a few of my Phrags. My night temperatures have been high lately and I suspect that might be the cause.


Good growing,
Paul

Triple WOW. and where did you get the Windsor Castle?

The Windsor Castle was purchased as a seedling on eBay a couple years ago.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Just researched the label - it was from Monsoon Orchids Flora - look like they are no longer in business.

That is a beauty. I'm really surprised to see the keiki-like leaves on the spike. Never seen anything like that. What are the leaves doing now?
