Phragmipedium Memoria Emma Decker

This is the first of mine to bloom. It’s been holding its first two flowers for over a week. I like the soft velvety pouch, but wouldn’t mind a bit of improvement on the petals. Nice, strong stem.

You are too harsh on these first blooming plants...

Thanks, Max. I’ll tell her I’m sorry.

I'm just saying give them a few years and then you can put the bad ones into the volcano. This and the Saint Rich are keepers

The color is lovely...I love soft pinks.

I agree. Excellent first bloom,

Overall it does look like it's a good quality flower.

I’ll skip the long story (for once). This one came from Alfredo Manrique.

Mine is flowering too. Petal width about 12.5 cm.

Where are you? And where is your Emma decker from?

 

[Upfeng]

I am writing from Germany and my Emma Decker is from Elite orchids UK.

wow, both of these are really nice blooms. I love the flower size and structure seems to be holding up very well. Great Job! - Emma Decker.. noted.

From Manrique!? Must have been a seedling. Good growing.
