Kyle send me some photos and asked me to put them up in the forum, because the internet connection he has available in Ecuador is not very practical for uploading photos. So on behalf of Kyle; Enjoy.

Phrag. boissierianum alba.

Kyle labeled this photo as Phrag. boissierianum alba. In my humble opinion this is not a boissierianum but a longifolium.
In any case this is the first true alba form of a species I've ever seen. It's a beautiful specimen.

Dear Rob,
I agree with you. It looked like an albine form of Phrag. longifolium.
You could see the same form in the last issue of 'The Orchid Digest' in the end of my article.

Best greetings

I also think it is a longifolium, looks nothing like a boisserianum. Very nice.

MUST...HAVE....ONE....

Thanks for sharing, that's awesome. I can only imagine the price tag on a division...darn Christmas expenses, have to wait for seedlings I guess.

Hmmmm - I'm trying to tell myself that I don't like green slippers - but without too much success when it comes to this one. It's quite attractive. If there aren't that many, we want to protect this one - any chance they'll be using it for breeding?

Cheers

Very pretty indeed. Looks like longifoilum to me, too (as if it still needed to be said). Thanks for posting it!
