Richard, thanks so much for the wonderful Show here this morning! I love it!
The Sobralia is a true beauty! Cute little Restrepiella ophiocephala.

And the Maxillaria cucullata........

Wonderful show! I couldn't pick a favorite...I love them all! Thank you so much, Richard!

Wow, those are fantastic plants, and so beautifully photographed! They are all great, but I think that the Phragmipedium splendens is especially lovely!

Great looking plants Richard. I too was drawn to Phragmipedium Splendens, but was not familiar with that name but with the help of google came up with the more commonly used name of Phragmipedium Schroederae. This plant is a cross of Phrag caudatum and Phrag Sedenii.

Phragmipedium Schroederae note that 'Schroderae' in the RHS register is spelled without the first (e) making it very hard to search for in the registry.

I have Phragmipedium Schroderae 'Jesse' HCC/AOS but it has yet to bloom for me since I got it late last summer, great expectations though.

Great link. Given that I am a newby, this is tremendously informative!

I am happy you all liked the latest orchids from Kew, and thank you Ironwood for the info on Phrag.Splendens. I am looking forward to what May has to offer, it is going to be a busy month for me as I now spend half my time working with Kew's cacti and succulent collection. Going from orchids to cacti is interesting to say the least!
See you in May.
