Phragmipedium christiansenianum

[ORG]

Here a very rare species from Brazil

Phragmipedium christiansenianum 'Wössen'

This year with a very short inflorescence

A bud

I have the hope that the owner of the plant has this year success with the artificial propagation.

Best greetings

That's best looking clone of this species I've seen. Granted I haven't seen many but still the best so far. Thanks for the look

I agree. This is a beautiful phrag. And very nice photos by the way.

I'm not usually a big fan of non-micropetalum Phrags, but this one is quite attractive!

 

[SlipperFan]

Very attractive, indeed. Wonderful spotting and pouch.

Wonderful!!!!!!

Great color, if you have pollen to spare could fit really good to my schsherezade.

Dear Dido,
how you could see in the name of the clone, I am not the owner of this plant. The plant stands only nearby in the same valley where I live, the Achental, only two villages away.

Best greetings

Very interesting Olaf,
I did get one similar plants many years ago labelled as pearcei 'Big Red'
But I knew after seeing the flower it was not a 'real' pearcei.

In the past they considered pearcei and caricinum as the same specie. And I always wonder what's the result of those two will gave to us, especially with the ecuadorense form, it is that why few years ago I did make that cross (waiting for the answer!)...
