Phragmipedium humboldtii

[montanum]

I bought this as Phrag popowii in 2007 from OL. It’s done well especially in the past few years when I improved my grow space.

Looks great, well grown. How long are the petals?

 

[montanum]

They always end up at about 27”. Not the longest, but long enough.

Thanks all. I would like to have judged in the future. Just for fun.

I moved house and they plant went from my chilly sunroom with huge temperature swings to my very sunny bathroom with additional lighting, bottom heat, and humidity trays. That, along with better more regular fertilization, has had a wonderful effect on all my slippers. My caudatum finally had its first flower after 10 years of poor care.
