Phragmipedium longifolium album

[lanthier]

Strong grower and first bloom from this relatively new to me Phrag. About 5 inches thus far from petal to petal and may still expand some.

A beauty.

Are those snow shoes for the longifolium if he misbehaves (in the background)?

Very nice!I remember it was excessively expensive few years ago.Fortunately It is available nowadays for reasonable price.

Nice. Now that so many of them are around I might pull the trigger and get one. Thanks for sharing.

Surely ypu can differentiate a hockey stick from snow shoes.... You're Canadian Doc!

It's quite pleasing and seems an easy grower... This one has super delicate petals and lots of twist....

I see the hockey stick lol. But I was referring to the two objects above it. But on closer inspection, are they gnomes?

Ah yes a collection of baseball and hockey bobbleheads/gnomes and other junk... No snowshoes. No SNOW! My brother and his wife live near Barrie and love to snowshoe FWIW....

I love longifoliums and have several. The longifolium album 'Super Charlie' is still blooming and has had 17
flowers on one spike. I finally had to repot into a 12" pot with a bloom still on it and it didn't even lose
the flower. Damn fine plant!

lovely... you'll have to start using a hockey stick shaft to stake it ;-)

It's so pretty !

that is for sure pretty... btw i was poking at your apparent hockey interest with that comment you didn't 'bite' on.

How'd I miss that? Been a fan since birth...

How big is the plant itself? Pretty big, I expect!

My ‘Leslie Garay’ with an album parent is just about to open its first bloom. I almost hope I dislIke it; the plant is just so big. Three growths, and the blooming growth has a leaf span of just shy of 3 feet. It is taking up a sizable percentage of my house!

 

[lanthier]

This is much more diminutive! Almost like a gracile (not really!), rather than a regular longifolium. And I do not mind the smaller size at all! Photo makes it look large, it is about 22 inch leaf span. My gracile is under 20 inches.

I will trade you a bottle of bleach for your GH for the plant!
