    Default A beauty of a Phragmipedium

    The is a first flowering of a Phragmipedium caudatum that I had originally rescued from an abandoned local orchid collection. With some new growing media of coconut husk, charcoal and river gravel, it managed to produce 15 flowers and a very healthy plant.
