To avoid the hassle of a transformer, there are also great USB fans now. You can easily find cheap usb plugs and chargers. These ones can be daisy chained up to 6 together. I have been using those for a few months in my orchid room and greenhouse (humidity up to 99%) and they get occasional...

Thank you all for your input. About the first one, what bothers me most is the light horizontal patch on the right petal, not so much the twisting. And because that patch was already present on a previous flower a year ago I doubt it is an accident. The last one will hopefully have a better...

Great one !

First one (Dot Potter) is from JP Faust (Canada), other two are from Woodstream Orchids

Thank you Tom. It is the second bloom since I have it from flask 3 years ago. First bloom was also very good. Unfortunately it is growing very slowly... Hoping to divide it before anything happens to it!

My all time favorite Phragmi ! Phragmipedium Pink Panther (schlimii 'Pink Ice' x fischeri 'Tony') bought from Woodstream Orchids in 2016

Thank you, you're too kind!

FVGardens, in BC . First bloom, 6 years from flask...

from Ecuagenera in 2012... I will not the possible error. Thank you Eric!

No this one is from Jason Fischer when he came to a show in Vancouver a few years ago

The older flower developed when the plant was in the greenhouse (colder nights) and it is much more reddish, the top bud came after I brought the plants indoors for winter (no heat in greenhouse)...

Indeed I really love this one, it look a lot like the 'Carlisle' clone, and it comes from JohnM a few years ago... maybe he made a mistake and sold me a 'Carlisle' for the price of regular besseae :D
