Phragmipedium schlimii 'Select' x 'Colombia'

I got this plant from Tom Kalina (Fox Valley Orchids). I think that this plant was blooming in the spring 2015, so this is the 2nd bloom of the year! Very easy and quick grower.

It is kind of cool that a slightly different angle of light makes the fennestration appears or disappears:

No additional photos, but a link to the blog post.

Lovely little flower. Thanks for posting. How about a picture of the plant?

I saw my first one live just a few weeks ago at a local nursery - absolute beauty!

I usually take whole plant photos, but I didn't have time... It's still the 2nd blooming of this plant, so it is small (about 2 growths).

Very pretty, soft beautiful pink.

Charming and pretty and cute all rolled into one.
