Phragmipedium Nicolle Tower

Photo for scale and then a close up. This is a sequential bloomer, very easy to grow, not fragrant. Flowers are long lasting and some years it sequentially blooms for 3 months. For some reason, however, the flowers tend to fall off, one by one, a few days after the newest one has bloomed, usually only holding on to a few at a time. Is that normal?

It gets a lot of water, and a lot of light, even direct in the DC area where I am.

That's how Phrags. are. They tantalize you with the hope of more than one flower at a time. It's beautifully grown. I looked up your other posts. You have some great plants.

Spray the spike, buds, and flowers with a 1 TBSP/gal Kelpak solution. The phlorotannins in it slow senescence, so the blossoms hang in there better.
