This is a very nice schlimii

All; We are asking the wrong questions. The question is not what American vs. German authors see in a particular flower, or what the subjective opinion is of one commercial dealer, an opinion that will always be on the side of selling more plants. The question is do the natural populations...

It already is.

Or maybe not so inadvertently. Names mean money to dealers. Also, I am not surprised to see an obvious schlimii sold as a manzurii as both types grow intermixed. Manzurii is a form of schlimii, nothing more.

I have been here from the beginning, when this site was started by a few folks (including myself), who had enough of another site that is no longer around and the guy who ran it. Honestly, if not for a few "holier than thou" members who seem to have a vocal, and negative, opinion of a lot of...

P. d'allessandroi is a synonym of P. besseae. P. besseae is the correct name for this plant.

Very nice plant. Very nice flower. Breeding kovachii into smaller, easier to grow plants. There is a future in this approach to breeding Phrags. For those of us that like to peel back the onion, this plant is 43% schlimii, 6% besseae, and 50% kovachii. It looks like the compound use of...

Proper culture begets fantastic results. Keep doing what your doing and keep your Phrags. out of standing water.

That’s a besseae. The slipper fits in normal cline in variation.

Hope to see you all there. I am planning on bringing some divisions I have never parted with in the past.

This is one of the better Phrag. hybrids, not only because it is hard to kill, grows like a weed with minimal care, and produces flowers almost continuously, forever, on a larger plant, sorcerers apprentice is also an excellent parent in breeding and under utilized. It is a big plant, that...

Gorgeous schlimii. But not an alba, album or albino.

Science is not static. Perhaps one day someone will prove me wrong using the same science I applied to the checklist of species. I am on the record in numerous places that as our knowledge expands, our understanding of the species concept and how we apply that to the genus must also expand. In...

We are those of us in the Phragmipedium community that want to understand what we have and what a name means. Of course this would not apply to everyone, and anyone who wants to keep different names on the same hybrid is welcome to do so, as is anyone who wants to continue to sell the same...

The correct name is Stairway to Heaven. We need to unravel some of these hybrid names as there are many, many duplicates and triplicates.

A honey like scent cannot be found anywhere in the formal description of x reothianum. This is not a distinguishing characteristic between one group of this alleged natural hybrid and a group of this cross from a lab. I have been to the location this alleged natural hybrid was reported from...

Lets back track these plants and lets give ramp the benefit of the doubt. He has done nothing wrong himself and I hope his plants are happy in his collection for years to come. Ramp, "legally imported" is vague, and I think the issue some members are having is that you are using that...
