Phragmipedium pearcei var. ecuadorense

[Mathias]

My Phragmipedium pearcei var. ecuadorense is flowering, although only with one flower. Hopefully many more when all the new shoots start to mature.

Grown in pure fresh sphagnum (live when potted up), constantly moist/wet. I grow this plant warm which seems to work. Otherwise this species seems to like it more to the intermediate.

Very nice and well grown.

Lovely flower -- plant looks quite healthy.

The growths are prety spread out. Is it a bunch of growths potted together or one plant?

It was originally three plants potted together. The oldest has now died back. Rhizome distance between shoots are ~2-3 cm.

Ok, thanks. I have a pearcei about the same size that I hope will bloom for me. (Yes, I know it will not come out red! !)

According to a comment on another forum this is probably not var. ecuadorense. Apparently the staminoid shield should be smaller and the flower a bit browner for it to be a var. ecuadorense. I will probably change the label to just Phrag. pearcei.

Before you change it do the research! :wink:

I like the black trim on the stami, nice flower and happy looking plant.

I like how green it is! The more I see this one, the more I like it.
