Excellent! Thank you!

Pete, do you recall how long the petals ended up this last time?

Excellent! Thank you!

Pete, do you recall how long the petals ended up this last time?

I think the longest petals were around 22-24 inches. I love this species, actually all the long petalled Phrag species.

Peter, I totally get now how/why you love this species so much! I remember that really long detailed discussion we had regarding its' color. Do you remember that? I understood SO much more about how you see the world that day.

Anyway, I was surfing around and realized that all the pics I'm seeing of wallisii DO have those indentations at the top of the pouch, so I think mine is normal.

I don't know what dents you're talking about but my walli flowers never showed any dents on them. :confused:

Not dents, just the pouch is narrower at the top, I didn't know that. I can see it in your pics and Rick's and Avery's and others online, so mine must be normal. I was worried it wasn't normal.

Are you refering to the restriction and flare of the rim of the pouch? If that's what you are refering to, that is one of the keys to separateing out wallisii from the other long petalled phrags.

I don't think so - not the rim, but there is restriction at the top, nearer to the staminoid. You can see it well in the second and third pics in this thread, on the right side of the pouches, near the dorsal. I'm trying to find and crop a pic but I'm having computer issues today...sorry. Working on it. :)

My that's pretty. Well grown too. I just picked mine up from an Ecuagenera preorder...can't wait until it blooms. (I got another :shock: besseae as well....)

I don't know how I missed this one, I have a wallisii hybrid at home that is in bloom now I believe in my basement, but sadly I don't have a digital camera yet.

Thanks, all! This plant is in sheath again! Yip! Yip! :-dance: :Party: :joy:

Oh really? Already? That's wonderful news, congrats, Dad! :D

My wallisii is in bloom again with only 2 flowers this time. It was recently in bloom with 3. Petals are still growing. Thanks for looking!

Very nice! It is so nice seeing more photos now that I have seen my own bloom in person! Very exciting. :-dance:
Thanks for posting Peter.

Pete,

I favor the long petals of walisii and yours are amazing (not to mention your photos). I have one plant that i bought with blooms. I took some photos but have not looked at them closely. If I have any decent pics I will post them in the next few days.

Paul

Very nice!
BTW, what Hosta is that in the background?

Jon

Jon, I have no idea what kind of hosta it is but we have a whole bunch of different ones in the backyard and they keep coming back larger every year.

Mmmmm....Hosta....:mrgreen:

very nice :clap2:

I like this one, I am really getting hooked on Phrags

Gideon, you don't grow any Phrags? If you don't, you should try one. :D I used to hate Phrags a few years ago but now I love them just the same as I love my Paphs!

Looks really great Paphraguy! I saw a schlimii x richterii today that was to die for!

I have got a few Schroderae and a Sedenii, but all new acquisitions, some are still pretty small. I will be getting somemore VERY soon.
