I unfortunately don't have any information about the breeding lines of these RJQ'S. My original cross indeed had flowers that were a lot smaller, but I used a 4n besseae, so my RJQ'S had a double dose of besseae so maybe that made the difference, but I agree with you that they resemble more a...

Love it!

A display by Franz Glanz of Phragmipedium Robert-Jan Quené and Fritz Schomburg at the Dresden Orchid Show 2023. Wow, those are probably the best Phragmipedium Robert-Jan Quené's I have seen thus far! Definitely an improvement over the Fritz Schomburg's that are in the same display. It is kind of...

Hi Kate, Correct, the besseae that I used (Rob's Choice), is a tetraploid, and Peach Parfait is a diploid. I am leaning more towards that the FS that I used as a pod parent, also got self-pollinated, so I had two different crosses within my seedlings. My flowers have been lighter in color...

I stand corrected. I had read prior that a Phragmipedium RJQ had received an AM, but it was from the Honolulu Orchid Society, and not the AOS. Ironically it was also one of Kate L's plants! https://www.honoluluorchidsociety.org/award/2022-48-phrag-robert-jan-quene-pacific-heights/

Awesome! If you get at least two to flower, make sure you sib them! :-)

This is what one of the first RJQ's looked like. The flowers were a lot smaller (but significantly larger than a regular besseae), and more orange red in color; I described it as a besseae on steroids:

I unfortunately won't be able to post many pictures of Phragmipediums or Paphiopedilums any more, as I only have one Phragmipedium growing in my collection at the moment, but below are pictures of my Phragmipedium Robert-Jan Quené, that I received as a gift when I left Orchids Limited. 3...

Thanks Terry! Glad to see that you are still growing Paph's and Phrag's! Her Phrag RJQ is actually the 2nd one (that I know of) that got an AOS award.

I don't know anyone in the US who is breeding with warmer growing Cyps, like Cyp. kentuckiense, I only know Frosch in Germany who does. Robert

Welcome, or Welkom! I am Dutch myself, but live in the United States. Robert

I will be happy to help! I just started up a new orchid lab, but have had 16 years of experience. I have done lots of Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums. You can send me an email at [email protected] or look me up on Facebook: Clearwater Orchid Laboratory. Robert

Welcome from "Northern" Wisconsin! I am in Superior!

Oh wow, congratulations and that is super awesome! I think that might be the second Phrag. Robert-Jan Quené that has received an AM/AOS. Please post a picture, if you have one! My Avatar is also a Phrag. Robert-Jan Quené. I will eventually have a website, but am still in the really early...

Thanks NYEric! Do you like my new avatar, it is a besseae hybrid ;-)
