Phragmipedium Eucagenera's Dream

[swamprad]

I'd love to take it and others for judging. Only problem is that I live in a northwestern suburb of the Minneapolis area. Most of my phrags are at their peak blooming in the dead of winter. The cold weather would make it challenging to get it somewhere for judging. For instance starting today we are supposed to have temps that won't get above zero for four straight days. In addition the closest city that I could take it to that has a regular judging event is Chicago, a five plus hour drive away. I'm not sure that I would be able to get it to a judging without it, or me, suffering some form of frostbite.

There’s a show with AOS judging next weekend in St. Paul.https://www.aos.org/community-events/calendar/78-1746230400-1746230400

That's right! It's the St Paul Winter Carnival Orchid Show! I'll have to look into how that works.
Thanks!

Phragmipedium Eucagenera's Dream (sedenii x kovachii) which I purchased from Eucagenera in April of 2021. First time I've gotten it to bloom. It is an absolute beast!

Here's a picture of mine, it shows some variation to yours and also, the flower was just huge (should have measured it). Presently, it has 5 new growths - it would be nice if they all flowered at the same time
