I saw one in bloom at Fox Valley a few years ago and was struck by how white the lip can be ... The one I saw had the white part extended to the top of the pouch... So I bought one!! But I sold it before I bloomed it to a phragmapedium breeder who needed it more than me for his breeding program... Since then he has made numerous crosses. Can't wait to see them bloom in a few years!
On a cultural note, I did notice that they grow with long rhizomes between growths. Also I did sit them in RO water, feed very lightly and flush often. Never knew they might grow under water. Very interesting!
