Phragmipedium pearcei
This plant has been in bloom since November 2008, and is on its second spike.
This is defintely a good compact Phrag for those looking for the green long petaled looks. It also as beautiful grass-like foliage. Its compact nature also is passed on to its progeny, such as in more colourful hybrids like Phrag Olaf Gruss.
This species must be kept wet at all times though, but that is not difficult through sitting the plant in a tray of water. It grows in rainforests directly next to the river in nature. I used to have in a pot sitting in water, but now I decided to put it into a glass vase.

Really nice. Do you have it in pure moss in the vase? Mine is rockwool, so just wondering.

Yup mine is in moss with stone on the botton. Also a layer of sponge rock, and another layer of charcoal (and it looks like in glass) Almost all my phrags are in sphag moss, except for the caudatum types and those that like a alkaline medium (like schimii).
Another hybrid is Phrag Mini Grande (pearcei x popowii)...the name speaks for itself. popowii can also be found under the name warscewiczianum, though that is an old name
