Phrag andreetae

[Kavanaru]

reviving this thread...

Does any of you here have any advice regarding the best conditions for Phrag andeettae? or what should be done and what not?

Today I had the chance to acquire oen plant, and could not resist

Going out on a limb here (don't have any of this species... yet), BUT grow it like a Phrag??? The wetter ones probably. Pretty bright light (enough to bloom compact Catts or grow by your mutlifloral Paphs), intermediate temps, good air movement, open mix that holds both water and air well, and never drying out completely. I'm curious if it likes calcium and magnesium like Pk and fischeri do???

So far mine seen to like "wet" Phrag conditions and additional oystershell.

 

[Gilda]

Very pretty! Thanks for posting these Is it just me, or does the petal shape remind anyone else of kovachii? There are some obvious similarities to fischeri. I like it

-Matthew

I thouht it was Pk hybrid, too !:clap: A beauty !

 

[NYEric]

NO, it's much smaller. I can hardly wait for mine!

that's a good hint.. I was not aware Pk and Pf liked additional Ca/Mg... that's something I could indeed add..

Thanks!

my plants is still a young plant, maybe 1 - 2 years to bloom... looking forward to see how it developes...

Reviving this thread again...

Phragmipedium andreettae

This one is from the southern part of Colombia.

The clones from this locality have resulted very good growers.

I cannot wait to see it crossed with a besseae flavum!

 

[NYEric]

Hell! I can't wait to get a decent size one for less than a fortune!
Thanks for sharing.

That is fun, here we sell a BS multigrowth for less than 30 US$. oke: Unfortunatelly we cannot sell it outside of the colombian border yet.

:ninja: For what we pay for one I can get 5 there! I'll send you an address.

I hope that you will come to Spain!:rollhappy:

Un saludo

 

[NYEric]

Both of you are more than welcome to Colombia... The Phrag. andreetae was not yet discovered in Spain :rollhappy:
But everything can happen, since it was originally described in Ecuador when it is mainly a Colombian species! oke:

Some pictures more:

This is one is called "JLo" and it is one of the whitest and finest forms that we could get. It comes from the southern part of Colombia.
I am wondering if the Phragmipedium schlimii fm. albiflorum is actually one form of Phrag. andreettae

I removed the pouch to cross it with a Phragmipedium longifolium and revealed the peculiar shape of the staminodia.

and the delicate stigma:

We hope to see a nice hybrid similar to Sedenii but whiter.

Has this been crossed with Kovachii yet? Or cardinal birchwood?

I think that it must have been crossed with kovachii... for sure this is the first cross to try... but we have no yet mature plants of kovachii.

We are working in crosses with schlimii, besseae, longifolium, manzurii and some kovachii hybrids... but we have to wait a while to see the first results...:drool:

Oh my dear friend, please remember us when flasks are available.
