Phragmipedium Cape Sunset

[Cheyenne]

I bought this plant from Piping Rock Orchids about 2 years ago as a single nbs growth. It is one of the fastest growing phrags I have. Second blooming.

This plant did not bloom on its first growth. Then put out two growths and two spikes with one branch each last year. Then three growths this blooming, each spike has three branches. It has now sent out six growths for next year.
It is grown in orchiata and a type of rock, like expanded d slate. It is like a rock with the structure of perlite. I only put the rock material in because the pot is pretty big. It is grown in a combination of sunlight and HPS lights.
Thanks for the comments!

Wow! Stunning! My Cape Sunset seems to be a sequential bloomer whereas yours has many blooms all at once.
