variety of the Phragmipedium warszewiczianum, a species in the distinguished slipper orchid genus. This variety, denoted as 'wallisii', likely exhibits unique characteristics or traits that differentiate it from the typical Phragmipedium warszewiczianum. These differences might be manifested in variations of the flower's shape, color, size, or patterning. Phragmipedium warszewiczianum is known for its striking, pouch-like blooms, which are hallmark features of slipper orchids, and var. wallisii presumably retains this distinctive floral structure while adding its own exclusive touches. Ideal for replicating the warm, humid environments of their native tropical habitats, this orchid variety thrives in conditions with high humidity, moderate temperatures, and indirect light. Care for this plant involves maintaining consistent soil moisture with good drainage and regular fertilization to promote healthy growth and vibrant flowering. Phragmipedium warszewiczianum var. wallisii is particularly appealing to orchid enthusiasts and collectors for its potential unique floral characteristics, contributing to the diversity and beauty within the slipper orchid collection.

At ecua, I walked over to a rack of random plants and went straight to this one without ever having seen it before. It reminds me of a green dragon narrow mixed with a paloraense (the plant I was seeking). Two of my fav plants. 8 days later and I'm seeing a new leaf emerging, so it was in good shape when I got it from the nursery. I'll get it out of the moss it came in soon as the plants I get from Ecua usually die if I do not. Out of the 10 amazing plants I got, this is the one that my friend asked, "ooh what is that one?" It's hot. I could not locate another one of these anywhere else in the nursery, so maybe they're rare?
My plant arrived well packed with a damp paper towel to retain moisture. It had seven bulbs, from the smallest to the largest, and a healthy root system. The leaves also grow from the smallest to the largest matching the size of its bulb. I know your not supposed to repot new plants for a year, but I did.
