Phrag. besseae 'Rob's Choice' AM/AOS

Drorchid · Jun 24, 2009

A parent of many of our besseae Phrag. crosses is blooming again. This time it's flowers were at it's best, so I took another picture of it. The dimensions of the flower this time was a little over 10 cm across, and 3.2 cm wide petals. When it got awarded an AM back in 2002 it was only 8.7 cm across with 2.9 cm wide petals. I also took a comparison shot with a regular 2n besseae to show what a huge flower it is!

No (I wish), it was named after Robert Palm; he was an employee who worked for us about 10 years ago. You may recognize that name from Phrag. Robert Palm (czerwiakowianum x besseae); He is the one that first spotted it when he walked through the greenhouse where we had our besseae's.
