Phrag. spec

[Trimorph]

Hi,

a few weeks ago I visited a local nursery and photographed this beautiful Phragmipedium:

It was standing in the nurserys motherplant area at the nature species, among of a couple of blooming Phrag longifolium. I wasn't labeled, but I was told that the plants have the same background and are several years in the nurserys collection. But this one was different. Not only the bloom also the habitus. The leafes were more nerrow than of the longifolium, you can see them in the background, in the front on the right side you can see the proportion of one of the longifulium leaves. But the were even longer than of pearcei or for example hirtzii.

Does anyone have a tip, wich Phrag that could have been?

Best regards,
Trimorph

Phrag ecuadorense???

could be pearcei!

I think is Phrag christiansenianum, as now is winter and light not so high, petals stay down.

Could be.

Definitely not a pearcei.
Phrag. christiansenianum could be although I have my doubts.

However shape, size and positioning of the lateral petals, and shape of the lip and markings on the lip make me think Phrag. Green Hornet (longifolium x pearcei). You also mention the shape and size of the leaves which would also point in the direction of longifolium x pearcei.

My two cents.

I keep saying is Christiansenianum, the petals down indicate only poor sun light, mine is grown with vittatuns and get a lot of sun light. In the past it was cultivated in green house with filtered Sun light and color stay darker and petals down. I see your concern about pouch shape but this also is a matter of individual clones. Leaves are as the ones showed in a mature specimen plant with 4 spikes. Another photo for appreciation.

I don't think the pouch looks like christiansenianum -- I agree with Rob -- that was my first thought.

Very nice looking bloom!

Thank you for your assessments.

Perhaps I could post a more detailed picture next flower season.
They promised me to cut me a division when they repot the plant.
So a pure habitus picture will be possible to post to.


greetings,

It looks like a Green Hornet for me...
