Phrag. Haley Decker (kovachii x St. Ouen)

I got this one about three years ago from Piping Rock when the kovachii hybrids first started appearing. It was so small I was afraid it would come apart in my hands when I was repotting it to S/H.

It had one spike in January 2008 but the plant was still so small the spike didn't form. This is the first time it has bloomed. The spike is branched but the branch doesn't have any flowers yet - only buds. The flower is fairly large, over 12-cm NS. I am really pleased with the bloom - to me it looks much more kovachii than St. Ouen.

I'm surprised there aren't more pictures of this hybrid on the internet - I would have thought more of them would be blooming by now.

How 'bout an internet high five!
Looks great!

That is a lovely bloom, I can imagine that sitting in my loungeroom.....he he he.

Apart from the colour you may think of a straight kovachii.
I like it very much - congrats.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Wow! Very nice colouration and form...

Great flower in a respects!

that is great

Droolable!!!

:clap: Well done, it's beautiful!

nice

Great for a first blooming.

I am loving those round petals and small, well-shaped pouch! Wonderful!

I like the little freckles.

And thus starts the wave of kovachii hybrids we will be seeing in the near future...that one is a winner!

Wouah! very nice. Seeing the picture I wondered if the hybrid kovachii x Memorial Dick Clements existed it would be also very nice right?

grrrreaat !!!

Just love the shape and colours of this flower. Definitely one on my wishlist!:rollhappy:

nice! the shape is heavily influenced by kovachii. I wonder what it will look like as the bloom ages
