Phragmipedium Memoria Dick Clements 'Flavum'

This is the orange version of the hybrid I posted on a couple weeks ago. It is made with the yellow form of Phrag besseae, Phrag besseae f. flavum (the original cross is besseae x sargentianum). It is blooming on two spikes, and the first two flowers that opened were malformed, likely due to stress in transport. I am very impressed with this first normal flower. It is slightly larger than my regular Mem. Dick Clements, at 3.5" natural spread (the regular one is 3.25").
