Nice
Really nice plant. I did have some yellowing,
but that is to be expected from plants traveling in dark boxes with no oxygen. This is literally the only plant that I received from Ecuagenera that had a flaw.
After I ordered Munekazu Ejiri I was told that it and one more Fragmipedilum are sold out. I asked to cancel all my order so I can get the plants directly from Ecuador when the weather is not hot. Then suddenly both of those were magically found. I received broken orchids that lost turgor and with no roots. The velamen just went of all the roots without me using any tools. The first picture shows the comparison of this one with Phragmipedilum Apollo I've got from Ecuador in April. I presented it because it contradicts the management statement about the poor conditions of those two plants that "temperature changes, transit time, and the shipping process itself can cause some degree of stress to the plants".
