Visiting Lemförder Orchideenzucht (Germany) in April 2015

[Felix]

Two weeks ago I was in Lemförde visiting my favorite orchid nursery. I took some photos for you - but attention, the focus was on the many blooming Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana from the private collection. Don't be surprised by the pinkishness at the end of this post.

First, the slippers:

Yes you are right, what do you think? Maybe purpuratum?

I had that thought, also.

Glad you like the photos!

Definitely not purpuratum. Maybe a hybrid? I don't recognize it as a species. I do like it, though.

Wow.

I have never seen so many nice lueddemanniana.

I would be seriously broke after visiting that greenhouse.

Thanks for sharing.
