A fabulous 'Wilcox' well grown and displayed. How old is this plant? Ed

Phrag Nichole Tower is dalessandroi x longifolium. dalessandroi x bessaea is Phrag Jersey bessaea x longifolium is Eric Young Now I'm really confused Ed

I hope I'm not talking to bemused persons but look on page 22 on the phragmipedium pages -- didn't think for one minute I'd have to explain myself.LOL Ed

I would not repot. I would use a pot about 2 or 3 inches bigger in diameter and fill it with the same type of compost that the plant is in. I would then gently just sugmerge the plant ( still in its pot ) so that it sits in the middle of the larger pot. This will give the roots plenty of room...

Quite unusual ( to me ) but I like this one. Ed

You can find this phrag in bloom last year on page 22 of this thread. Ed

The pics I have found and the odd watercolour have only shown dalessandroi with one bloom at a time. This plant had all five blooms out at the same time last year--does this make any difference to its identity? Ed

Thanks everyone for your input. I will look into this further-maybe I am wrong and you are right. Somhow I hope that it is Nicole Tower. Ed

Hi Eric. No reason to believe that it is anything else but Eric Young. It came directly ( through a friend ) from the EYF a couple of years ago. If my memory serves me correctly they did say it was from a 4N longifolium if that makes any difference? Ed

A very reliable bloomer. The first of 5 buds to open, last year they all opened at the same time. Ed

Welcome from Lancashire, England. Ed

Add some large perlite to the sphagnum and keep the plant wet ( not damp ) and Phrags like cool water at their roots. It will settle in you only need patience, Ed

Hi Stella and a big welcome from the UK Ed

Beautiful plant. Do you think a sangii would require the same conditions to bloom. I've had a sangii for 4 years and has only produced a new growth this year. The plant is 7" high and 11" across any ideas how I can get this to bloom?? Ed

Don't know how I missed this brilliant plant and pic. I have 6 grandes all with multiple growths but nothing as spectacular as yours. Absolutely well grown and shown-- congrats Ed

Hi Ruli. As promised my caudatum has now flowered and is the plant closest to the camera. The other one is warcewiczianum--- I can't tell the difference. The warcewiczianum was bought from KJ orchids.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I opened this--absolutley splendiferous and a great big wow!!!!! Ed

19" length of petals.

Lovely and one of my favourite phrags. Mine has just flowered so I will try and get a pic and put it on this thread. My pics though will not be as good as yours. Ed

Sorry about that Ramon but you are quite right--must have been thinking of the other paphs shown today. Ed
