warszce... what the popowii - humboldtii?

[Bjorn]

Got this one last year as a seedling, supposedly the one with the difficult name that now is either popowii or humboldtii. Now it flowers, very dark, probably the right kind....hmmmm... the leaves are greener in reality, the camera must have adjusted the colors a bit, perhaps the dark is darker as well?

Seems to me popowii x caudatum. Very interesting pouch!

Could be.... came as a bonus-plant from Popow without label; later he informed me that it was phragmipedium warcewiczianum (a.k.a. popowii& humboldtii) How can you tell that it could be a cross with caudatum, Eliseo, any particulars to look for?
btw its somewhat darker(almost like dark chocolate) than it appears on my computer.

The pouch seems to me a little bit too long but it can be the visual effect because that splitted coloration. Also the leaves are a little bigger than I am used to see in popowii... On the other hand the pouch has the correct texture.

Looks cool!!

The green Phrags are difficult to name now. Thank you taxologists!

whatever it's name ...I like it !

It's really pretty. Very dark.

Not sure it is the taxonomists fault entirely. How about the breeders who cross similar species and call them the same, mostly because they don't know the subtle differences -- or they were all called the same thing at one time.

Very interesting and unusual pouch. I don't think I've
ever seen one with such a clear line of two colors.

Very nice and quite unique in my area...

I would defer to J-P for taxonomic info.
