Culture Notes from Donor: Phragmipedium longifolium is quite happy being watered often or even being grown in a shallow dish of water.
Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: An easily grown species. Plants get quite large, with leaves up to three feet long. Plant has gracefully arching leaves and looks quite attractive out of bloom. Flowers are produced sequentially, with two at a time opening for the last week of older flowers' life spans. Individual flowers last for two to three weeks.
Parent plant: Very large plant. Substance and texture average, shape average, petal color rather dark red, labellum beautifully flushed with cinnamon red. This cultivar is vigorous, producing no less than ten flowers on its first flowering, and still going while producing two new growths. I guess we just grow 'em bigger in Texas.
