Phrag longifolium

[SlipperKing]

Winter blooming of a not so well photographed flower. Winter colors so much nicer then the summer.

That is a really nicely colored flower. I like how this species blooms over very long periods, and you can see variation within the flowers.

Fantastic color this winter

Lovely color and I love the Groucho look. Mine is blooming
now too (second bloom on this spike) and the dorsal looks
a bit pinched like your dorsal. Is this characteristic of
longifolium? If it's not, should I blame Clark as the culprit who sold it to me??!!! ;>)

Fricken Nice!!! I have one with 2 growths in low bud that grows & grows reluctant to bloom any tips?

No. Breeding from T Root/ Orchidzone in the early 90's

55-56*F, Is that cool?
