Phragmipedium Memoria Dick Clements

[monocotman]

I agree with the others - it looks alot more like Eric Young than MDC.
If it is Eric Young then it is one of the darker ones.
Whatever it is, it appears happy and growing well with a nice flower so enjoy,

MDC tends to hold it's petals more erect. This flower has very marked down swept petals. The color is also a little off, but that could just be the photo.

Thanks Terri, that explains what I was missing about the petals, and yes mine holds them more erect.

So I corrected the tag in "Phragm. besseae-hybrid with the other parental part unknown". Thanks everybody for your help.

Gorgeous orchid anyway

I had the chance to visit Germany's largest orchid show in Dresden last week. There in the exhibition I've seen a plant with flowers exactly like those of my Phrag. It is a Phragmipedium Don Wimber (Eric Young x besseae). Eric Young is longifolium x besseae.
My tribute goes to all of you who helped in identification, especially quiltergal and monocotman.
For your comparison I added pics of the exhibited Don Wimber.
