Phragmipedium La Moye

[blondie]

Afternoon

I got this last year and its doing well I have three new growths coming along, and this lovley spike.
One petal is a little deformed hopefully the next bud will be different, Im reall like the colouring and the patening to the flower.
The spike was extremly slow, to grow on this hybrid its a cross between, sargentianum X ecuadorense It was made but the Eric Young Orchid Foundation.
I do have sargentianum and struggeling with so have given it a repot into a different mix.

I have started growing my Phrag differently, as i was getting a lot of soft rot so, far not more soft rot at all.

Very, very nice. That petal just wanted to go the "other" way.

Tell us the new way you grow them

I have started to grow them in trays of water, brought some grow bag tray they sit in them. One the water has gone I top up with a water and seaweed mix.
So far I've not had anymore rots, thankfully hopefully things will get better.
