Two ghostly phrags

[Jorch]

Got this Phrag lindenii from Ecuagenera earlier this year (Thanks Kyle!). Two buds, one blasted.. love how the petals just floats in the air! I hope the petals grow longer, with better flower quality and higher flower count next time when the plant is bigger. Right now it's 1 fan + new growth.

The mexipedium flower is so tiny next to the lindenii. It's hard to take a picture of the tiny flower!

nice blooms, both!! Do you have a possibility of taking a close-up of the 'absent pouch' of the lindenii??? Thanks !!! Jean

Peculiar flowers especially the first one...

The pink tinges on the mexipedium are neat, great flowers!

The petals should get somewhat longer. One thing about lindenii is that they are self fertilizing. After the flower fades check it and you will see a third pollenia stragetically placed behind the stigma so pollination is accomplished as the flower opens. You may want to cut the spike off after a few weeks for more growth of the plant instead of energy wasted in the seed pod.

It's fun to have these unusual plants.
