Big ol' phragmipedium Chuck Acker bloom fell off the spike today. I love how they still look perfect for a bit after they fall! Love this plant.

    So… a rubber chicken orchid? I can not unsee a rubber chicken.

    Regardless it is magnificent.

    I keep them sitting on a table until they look shabby! Is that ‘Coral Flame’? Mine is still growing with no sign of blooming. I have to look at it more carefully. If it isn’t blooming yet I might need to repot it.
