Phrag pearcei

[eOrchids]

First time bloomer.

Overall, I do question it if it's a pearcei or not cause of the size of the plant, stem and flower.

Where did it come from?

My humble opinion is that your suspicion is correct. That is not a Phrag. pearcei. I think it's a Phrag. richteri.

In any case a nice specimen.

Beautiful!

I agree with Rob......Phrag. richteri. Definitely NOT pearcei.

Thanks!

I thought so! *Tag & Growlist updated*

They are quite similar.

I just bought a pearcei from Windy Hill a month or so ago
and the growth pattern on my plant looks quite different
from the one pictured above. It hasn't bloomed so far, but
is certainly mature enough. It will be interesting to see if
it's actually pearcei. I don't mind at all if it looks like your plant. I like it.

It seems to be Phrag. richteri (the natural hybrid) as said above, or Phrag. Taras... (man-made pearcei x boissierianum).

I think richteri is a nicer flower.

Nice for such a small plant, whatever it is!
