Phrag. schlimii
DC's new post on Phrag. humboldtii made me think of an interesting picture I just got a few days ago from a well known orchidist (I'd say world renowned but he might blush) who is a compatriot in the KWOS. He travels frequently to Colombia and always manages to squeeze in some hikes into the mountains to see what's blooming. Well, this trip has lasted a little longer than usual as they got trapped in March by the Covid shutdown and won't be able to get home until international flights resume. Anyway, needless to say he's had way more hiking time than he had planned.
He knows I love my Phrags so he sent me these pics of a schlimii growth he found on a rock in the middle of a cascading mountainside stream. If that one picture of the rock doesn't tell you all you need to know to grow that species, I don't know what would. Is that not spectacular?
