My Phrag Grande looks like it is about to spike again. Here is a pic of it taken a couple of years ago. It is the golden variety.

I just picked up 2 seedlings of this from my local society's show last month, I sure hope mine like this nice. I was told the leaves are very long.

It depends on the cross what longifoliums were used to create the hybrid. Mine is the more uncommon golden variety and it is one huge and robust fast growing plant.

Phragmipedium Grande 'Maybrook' HCC/AOS (x self)
We selfed this wonderful clone of Grande because it is so beautiful!
This clone has very long petals and is lighter in color.
Phragmipedium Grande (longifolium 'Domenica' HCC/AOS x
caudatum v. warscewiczii)
Nice big dark flowers with long petals.
It is either one of these. I was told it would have long leaves. I will email the vendor and see which one it is.
