Phragmipedium Grande is a striking primary
hybrid (Phrag. caudatum x Phrag. longifolium) first registered by J Veitch
& Sons in 1881, and the grex is still frequently awarded today. Both
parents are native to Northern South America and are found in seepage areas.
Petals on our plant are approaching 10" in length, and this plant will remain
in bloom for months.
