Phragmipedium caudatum

[FrankRC]

Your plant is a Phrag. Grande. Not a caudatum.

i Agree, definitely not caudatum, some caudatum pictures attached

I visited EQ USA not long after they opened. They had forests of these and other long petal Phrags. Photos are somewhere here on site.

try Equagenera

Earlier in the thread, Theodoreorchidking mentioned that this mislabeled plant came from Ecuagenera.

It may be worthwhile to reach out to see if Ecuagenera will offer a refund. At least give them a chance to make things better.

Personally, I wouldn't accept another potentially mislabeled "caudatum" from them as a replacement nor would I reward their mistake by ordering another from them. Even good vendors make mistakes and despite everyone's best efforts, sometimes unfortunate things happen that are outside of a vendor's control. However, Ecuagenera has a reputation for this sort of thing.

maybe we can organise some caudatum from here next spring, some motherplants which could be divided are existing ...
Michaels' Job would be transportation then ...`
