It happens, unfortunately. Still, you're culture is excellent and the flowers look very promising.
Finally... Phragmipedium humboltii in spike!

I like it anyway Leslie. I'd love to see the flowers fully open.
Thanks Paul et al. I will love it just the same

this is much more in keeping with your albinistic collection tendencies...
nice flowering...
have you seen humboldtii clones other than the ones from ecuagenera? they seem to be the (only?) ones that are readily available.

Orchids Limited has plants for sale as Phrag. popowii.
Most heartfelt commiserations, Leslie! I damn well know the feeling!
My life with Paph. philippinense has been strewn with thorns and lots of stones in the shoe. It all started with the first philli, that I succeeded in flowering. After anxious/expectant waiting in what felt like ages, it finally opened.... and was a St.Swithin!
PS. If short on a clonal name, I' ve noticed that Ecuagenera has a humboldtii 'Fortuna', may I for your wallisii propose 'Misfortuna'

got it thanx....
funny that i purchased a 'popowii' from Alexj at the 2018 redlands show... mainly because the experience of buying popowii from popow orchids seemed fun to me...
and no i'm leaving that tag as is...
There are some from Popow, Glen (before) and OL.this is much more in keeping with your albinistic collection tendencies...

So today it extended the petals! Looks so regal..
I’ll have to move it soon to it’s grooming space lol.

Leslie, we are looking forward to see the many flowers open fully... I'm sure, It's going to be a gorgeous sight, after all "what's in a name ..."
I'm anxious to see them fully open, too. Should be a majestic display...
Such a graceful display even at this stage.
Looks like they are dancers giving a bow!

not that one.. but 2 different clones form equagenera...
last one just dropped its last flower... only 2 inflorescences and 1 flower per... first bloom... one flower was spectacular (i can say that because i didn't photograph it...
) larger and longer petals..... than the other clone... we'll see how that all works out next year... (btw, i flowered one of my tonsum albas from sam... slightly wonky, but seems large... i'll pm you a photo)
And so the show starts ladies and gentlemen!
Let the race begannnnnn ....
And the little brown growing tips are growing 1-2 cm a day!
