Default Phragmipedium Eric Young???



Had this plant for about 5 years which was bought as Eric Young I have now found out ( with thanks to phrag keepers on another site ) that this is more likely to be Phrag Nichole Tower grown at the EYF using dalessandroi. I'm almost convinced because of the large amount of yellowing and at the moment the plant is carrying 8 buds and blooms on a single spike. This plant had 5 blooms last year. Any more information from this forums experts would be much appreciated.

It is similar to Eric Young but I can't say that it's not the other.

One of the better ones I've seen, the colour is simply amazing.
