Phrag. Hanne Popow flavum 'White'

As the clonal name states, this one turned out white. During warm temperatures, sometimes it has a few faint pink lines on the pouch.
(besseae flavum x schlimii)

A real beauty!

that is absolutely gorgeous

Oh! Amazing... so amazing

Very nice

Yay besseae hybrids! There has never been a white Hanne Popow. Are you sure it's not a St. Ouen?

Hi Eron,

Very nice! Do you know the breeding?

Hi Tom. The parentage is (besseae flavum 'Windy Hill' x schlimii 'Pink Ice' JC/AOS.)

Eric, This is the 'White' Hanne Popow stud plant that Earl Bailey used in a number of his crosses if you happen to have any of those. He purchased it from Windy Hill and he and Marilyn were very excited when it turned out white! The flower is smaller, more consistent with being a Hanne Popow than a St. Ouen. Also the form is more consistent with the Hanne Popows and not as flat, and improved upon as the St. Ouens are with the extra besseae genes.

Beautiful!

I remember have seen a picture of a pure white Hanne Popow in the Koopowitz book...but i migh be wrong..

I would like to see this plant crossed for example x pearcei or czerwiakowianum!!

Thanks for the info. I have some checking to do.

Eric, I seem to remember a number of years ago, seeing a photo of Terry Root (Orchid Zone), with a pure white Hanne Popow. He was deliberately selectively breeding to make a pure white one and he succeeded. 'Can't remember the details though.

That's an interesting idea and I'm guessing it would look similar to my Phrag. Silver Eagle 'Pink Frost' that I've posted here previously. Except maybe more white in color. The plant is not as vigorous as I'd like it to be this year to set a pod on it though.
