Phragmipedium Yelva Myhre #1

I have two of these, so I am adding numbers to keep track of which on is which.

One of the flowers is a much better shape. I wonder did the plant get a bit dry while the second flower was opening.

Amazing! It looks like a monster-sized plant or is that just an optical illusion? Very nice color on this. I like both versions of the flowers. The one that's not as flat has very pleasing undulations in my opinion.

One thing I'd love to see if this general line of breeding is if breeders could get some yellow into the staminode and underneath the spots on the lip without too much compromise on the flower size and rich flower color.

That is just stunning. Plus it wonderfully grown.

Really good growing, Darlene. A special clone.
