I caught this thread just in time! Really looking forward to seeing these! Great job!! They are slow, still waiting for mine to bloom from years of growing.
Oh yes, my mistake! Thanks MaxC, Orchids Limited. I ordered flasks recently, so I have OI on my mind. It doesn't fall into the spectrum of red influence I would expect of those other Waunakee Sunsets from that link. Just tried selfing it today, we will see!
No word back from Orchid Inn. Perhaps I'll try to self it, to see if pods will set. This may give me some indication. I know there is still a small chance a 3N can breed, but typically not.
I think it resembles other BL's enough that its a good possibility...
Thats a gorgeous bloom Leslie! I love the dark pouch! It should fully open after about a week, at least mine took about that long. I'll cut the spike and send the pollen this week.
I picked up this plant a couple years back at auction, and now that its in bloom, I'm thinking this particular plant is a selfing of the Barbara Leann 'Hot Hot Hot' parent. Just wanted to confirm with you folk, so I can confidently 'rebrand' this phrag ;) What do you think? I know fischeri can...
