Phrag. lindleyanum x andreettae (4" Pot) - Not Blooming

Phragmipedium (Phrag.) lindleyanum x andreettae is a unique orchid cross between two interesting orchid species (primary hybrid).

Phragmipedium lindleyanum "Lindley's Phrag" is a heat tolerant variety that originates at elevations between 3200 - 7000 ft. but is also found growing at lower elevations in cool and wet environments (temperatures averaging 64F with consistent moisture) under light shade to partial sun. Phrag. lindleyanum is known for its lengthy petals and spikes that produce mahogany and green flowers without fragrance in the spring, summer, and fall months for up to 10-12 months when flowering.

Phragmipedium andreettae, on the other hand, is a miniature orchid that originates in Ecuador and found in southwestern Colombia at elevations between 1600 - 4000ft as a warm to cool growing species. This small sized orchid prefers moist, but not saturated growing conditions under low-medium light with mostly shade, high humidity, and good air circulation.
