Phrag. chateau clairval .

[phraggy]

Bought this little beauty just because I'd never heard of it.Only a small unflowered plant, The vendor had no idea what it would turn out like because it had arrived to him in an order he received from EYOF --- and not ordered. Glad I purchased it, it is only a small plant being around 9" in height with the flower a little over 1.5" A cross between besseae and casselman river.

Yay besseae hybrids!

 

[Erythrone]

Cutie for sure! BTW, I don't understand the name... it is written Chateau Clairval x Casselman River on the picture.

 

[Paphluvr]

Very nice! I particularly like the pouch.

 

[trdyl]

I like it very much!

 

[Migrant13]

I like everything about it especially the overall shape, color and size description of the plant.

 

[Secundino]

Oh wow - these colours!

 

[17andgrowing]

love the pouch on that. Flower itself is awesome as well.

 

[Silvan]

I also love that pouch! Great species in the background: besseae, schlimii, fischeri with a dash of longifolium. Great ingredients for making a great hybrid! Congrats!

 

[SlipperFan]

What a beautiful red!

RHS says Chateau Clairval is besseae x Casselman River. Phraggy has it right.

But, when you expand the photo is says something incorrect.

No problem. Just curious, how/how often can you get EYOF plants?

One of the vendors I use regularly obtains a few plants from them---- so I would say about twice a year--- but you can order certain ones if you are prepared to wait for a few months.
