Hi, all. I'm looking for Phragmipedium Allison Strohm. Not a triploid one, though. Any ideas? Thanks!

You could also look for a cross using similar parents? I'm thinking about the Perusian Royalty (Bel Royal x kovachii). It might be easier to find a 2N version of that one as I think that all the Allison Strohm are triploids.

Hi, Silvian. Thanks for pointing out the similar cross! Do you know of anyone who has it available?
That cross is by HP Norton/Orchidview. I have tried but not been able to reach them for months.

I got mine from Peruflora. Not sure about the ploidy of the plant, though.

I was in touch with them briefly before that hurricane last month. They have apparently retired and only have a very small collection now, so I've been told. I have since messaged them again, but without a response. I hope everything is ok!
Silvan, thanks for the pic! I'll check out peruflora for this cross... Beautiful plant!
Lovely color.
Thanks for the info.
BTW Sil, the X Bel Royal would have long petals, right?

Bel Royal is Memoria Dick Clements x Sorcerer's Apprentice, Eric. From what I've seen on google that cross doesn't have long petals. But seem to make a lot of flowers that open up at the same time. That is what I was expecting and it didn't happen on it's first bloom. So, I'm a bit disappointed for now. I need to amp up my watering and fertilizer regime, ...
If you meant X Bel Royal in general, I would think that crossing it with the caudatum group or Grande, it would give a semi-long petaled flower. Maybe similar
to a Fliquet?

No problem. Are you looking for a 2N plant for a breeding program? I can put some pollen on it to see if their Perusian Royalty is fertile and report back

I am, in fact! That would be great! It's so kind of you to offer, thank you so much!
