This is the first published picture of a Phragmipedium kovachii
hybrid: Phragmipedium kovachii x Phragmipedium Saint Ouen (Haley
Decker)
by Alfredo Manrique, Glen Decker y Fritz Schomburg


Height 3.8 cm
Width: 11 cm.
I thinkn there's been an obvious transposition of the numbers on the

website. It should be 8.3cm x 11cm. If you look at the flower the
proportions are that way and I blew it up til it was 11cm across and sure
enough it was 8.3cm high. And, of course, lovely and exciting!


Thanks Tennis. I wondered about the dimensions too, but didn't follow up.
