Phragmipedium Elfin's Illusions

[Phrag-Plus]

Phrag Taras x Phrag. Praying Mantis

Very graceful. Is the pouch a creamy yellow, or a creamy white?

By the picture it looks like the plant is tiny. Is that the case? Nice flower I hope it is as tiny as it looks.

Looks a little depressed to me. Needs some prozac in the fertilizer mix. :rollhappy:

Pretty impressive size flower for such a tiny looking plant. Can't wait to see what Elfin Illusion looks like when it grows up.

I wouldn't recommend Prozac. The relief is not long lasting and a change of scenery is more effective. I would however recommend a vacation in Hawaii! I'll send you my shipping address...

Very nice flower. The Taras parent is not very prominent, though.

Edit: well, there are two crosses with similar names, Tara and Taras (the RHS registrar must have slept), with Taras being pearcei x boissierianum and having nothing in common with Tara (MDC x Don Wimber). I thought of Tara when I made the above comment.

It is very tiny it is in 2.5 inches pot, a fast flowering seedling some are much bigger already but

..
Creamy white will be right, difficult to get natural light by those days...
HPS are on...

very nice,I think the Taras comes out in the longer petals and down swept for sure.

Sorry to hijack the thread but, Limuhead, can I post myself? Would there be room in your orchid house for me?

That does seem to be an invitation, doesn't it...

Good petal length!

That depends, are you a kovachii hybrid?

That depends, are you a kovachii hybrid?

I'd hope not- there might be some misrepresentation involving iris...
