Phragmipedium schlimii 'Select' x 'Colombia'

[naoki]

I got this plant from Tom Kalina (Fox Valley Orchids). I think that this plant was blooming in the spring 2015, so this is the 2nd bloom of the year! Very easy and quick grower.

It is kind of cool that a slightly different angle of light makes the fennestration appears or disappears:

Winter stom knocked down the power for 28 hours, so I was disconnected. Thanks, all.

Nice. Is it fragrant?

Eric, I'm not sure. Tom's web site said that the parents are fragrant, so I'm guessing it is fragrant. I sprayed bunch of chemicals (Sevin, metaldehyde, Neem mix) recently and the enclosure was stinky, so I couldn't check it...
