Ocean of Phrag. kovachii's! -Update with new photo's!-

I thought it would be time to post some new pictures. It has been about 2 weeks ago when I first posted some pictures.

This is what the bench looks like now:




and here are 2 kovachii's that I pulled (that I used to make some hybrids and I gave them clonal names):

Phrag. kovachii 'Machu Picchu' (flower dimensions 16 cm across)





Phrag. kovachii 'Sacsayhuanman': (flower dimensions 16 cm across)





And finally to give you an idea of how big the plants are, here is a picture of the whole plant:

Wow.

The second one looks very unusual, with the white stripe in the petals and the mostly white stam. Wouldn't it be interesting to breed with that one, if that stripe is consistent?

I agree, that it is unusual; it is also the one I posted earlier that had a lot of white on the backside of the petals. I don't however like the shape of the flower, but who knows, I still may do something with it...maybe self it to get the albino kovachii....

But it's the first flower, right? It may improve. I really like that it's so unusual. Good thing I'm not close by, and that I've already "shot my wad!"

Nice plants Robert. I hope you come to see us again next spring at Orchidexpo.

I like the most first, however its shape not so perfect but contrasts of different colours(purple, rose, white and yellow) are amazing!!!!!

Me too. I like the most first.

And again a wonderfull show Robert, thanks for sharing them with us.

Lovely. I particularly like the last one. :clap:

I love 'Macchu Picchu'! Seems like it has good form and I love the color of the "pouch."

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

They remind me of "pink" bats fluttering a round! Wonderful show Robert.
