It's in Spanish, so I don't understand it, but it is cool to see the big operation. There is one footage outside of the greenhouse. Is it the natural habitat of P. lindenii?

I only caught a word here and there, but that tour was FUN! The
growing houses were so well-organized and clean. What a beautiful
place to grow Phrags.!

Excellent! I now know that my Phrag caudatum v fortuna is actually humboldtii v fortuna! I almost crossed it with a big caudatum to make yet another confusing hybrid!

I wish I could understand Spanish.

Stone, there is no var fortuna to my knowledge not even fma fortuna described in popowii (the old humboldtii). It could be a clonal name and my guess is that it could be a selfing of that "fortuna" clone.

Thanks, Eliseo. That's what I thought, also.

Nice video, very interesting. The big problem with Ecuagenera is the general state of the plants when they get to the European market. They are sold bare roots packed in sphagnum and news paper and have sometimes travelled more than one month from one exhibition to an other exhibition.

Well it is several thousand miles away!
