This slipper orchid, Phragmipedium Fritz Schomburg ‘Tom Coffey’ AM/AOS was awarded at the Miami Orchid Show this past weekend. Some of you may have caught the brouhaha in the news a few years ago about the Phragmipedium kovachii that was brought into the country illegally by Selby Gardens in Sarasota, then quickly described as a “new species” in the middle of the night. This hybrid shown here has Phrag. kovachii as one of its parents. Outstanding seductive color!!!!
