Phragmipedium QF Maria
Phragmipedium QF Maria (lindleyanum x dalessandroi)
This is a nice and compact grower so far. I thought it might get significantly bigger as it produced more growths, but so far they've stayed small enough to fit well under the shorter shelves on my stand. When it blooms, it has to be moved onto the taller top shelf, but that's true for almost everything I grow. The spike has produced a couple of branches, so this should be putting on a decent show. I really love these dalessandroi hybrids. The branching spikes and relative lack of long rhizomes between growths is very nice.
The flowers are nice and red, I think this first bloom is much better than what I recall it being last night. Just better color, and I swear the flower is a lot larger than before. The shape is okay, I like it. It's not as full as the average MDC, but still very nice.

Thanks. Amazingly enough, it's still in bloom. Currently holding 2 blooms (1 each on 2 separate branches), and there's at least one more unopened bud, which I'm guessing will be the last. The current flowers aren't quite as big and the color isn't as deep, mainly due to a combination of the heat/temps and the fact that the plant has already spent so much energy on months of blooms. |
