phragmipedium

Hello! I am relatively new to orchid growing, and this is my first time posting here. First, I do know a bit about the controversy surrounding the D'alessandroi/Bessae var... nomenclature. I have not had this phrag genetically sequenced lol. I believe it is primarily a D'alessandroi because it...

Hello everyone, happy growing Are there any registered hybrids made with Phragmipedium lindenii? I am curious about whether the offspring inherit the lack of pouch, I have heard that lindenii, in essence, is a wallisii without pouch, but I would like to investigate whether the resulting...

Mindo, Ecuador, 4000 feet of elevation.

Very few people grow Phragmipedium in PR. I can count the ones I know with the fingers of one hand and I will have fingers to spare. So I was surprised and delighted to find a blooming plant of Phragmipedium Andean Fire thriving in a seaside location where its owner has made a microclimate...

Here’s my current set up. Very similar exposure to what I had in MA,, with a southeast bay window providing light, plus a big slider on the south/west side. I also have a southeast window in the guest room so that is supplemental for stuff I’m not as interested in looking at every day. Kitchen...

Hello everyone, with the permission of the administrators, do you know any Lady Slippers producer in Latin America? If there are any available on this forum, please DM

Hello everyone It's Phrags and Paph Blooming Season! I was looking at the OrchidWeb plants, and I'm curious about the 4N and 3N Symbols, as I see, they are "genetic studs" with perfect shapes and colors that hit your eyes XD My questions are: How is a 4N, or genetic sire, obtained or...

Compré este phrag de un cultivador que tenía un invernadero en la selva tropical, lo traje a mi casa de clima templado, su brote maduro más reciente murió de un hongo Primera FOTO (comenzó desde el rizoma hasta la punta de la hoja, de marrón, suave y maloliente). Luego a los 3 meses me salió un...

Phragmipedium besseae grown from flask

This is the second time flowering of my Phrag. besseae var. flavum. I love it so much.

'Phragmipedium Hybrid.' This is a watercolour painting of my orchid. I do not know its official hybrid name, but I think it is possibly Phragmipedium Grande, or Phrag. Grande x longifolium.

I have recently finished a watercolour (painted from life) of my Phragmipedium Noirmont (Memoria Dick Clements x longifolium) in bloom. The painting also shows its' developing seed pod. The Phrag. is happy that it has completed it's modelling session and is back in my grow-house. ☺ I have...

I finally have some slipper orchids in flower this year, and they are all Phragmipediums! ☺ First to flower was/ is Phrag. pearcei: Second is Phrag. Noirmont (Memoria Dick Clements x longifolium): And third is Phrag. besseae forma. flavum:

I acquired this Phragmipedium hybrid yesterday, it had no name on the label. I was really attracted to it due to the pink hue with the green, that the veins are not too prominent on the pouch and the plant vigour. Personally I think it most resembles 'Leslie Garay' (caudatum x longifolium), or...

Just wanted to share my grow space and orchid collection. 🙂

First time flowering of my Phragmipedium warszewiczianum var. wallisii! I have had this orchid for a few years now.

Is my Eumelia Arias putting out a bud? The growth emerging from the crown has some light striations on its sides and when viewed from the top, doesn’t look “creased” like new leaves do.

How does one differentiate between these two hybrids of P. hirtzii and P. longifolium? P. x roethianum occurs naturally, so does that mean only plants descending from wild populations can be called P. x roethianum? And plants with a P. hirtzii parent and a P. longifolium parent bred in captivity...

Since some Phrag species can be grown with wet feet, is it possible to take this a step further and grow them near the surface of an aquarium? I have a couple divisions from my Incan Treasure that fell off while I was trimming its roots that I was considering sticking into this breeder box and...
