Here is a seedling purchased from SVO a few years ago. I really never figured I would get anything awarded after growing for 48+ years. I was never too motivated to take anything to the judging center as they were always too far away and I simply enjoyed growing and flowering many different...
These two are flowering in the greenhouse today. Pot Loud Nine and a cross with Pot Loud Nine as the pollen parent...I didn't take a photo of the tag...maybe later.
Registration submitted and accepted today. These are the photos sent to the RHS.
I posted the first bloom earlier as CA913. A few more picts today in natural light. It appears to
be a successive bloomer with 2 flowers and 2 buds currently showing. Three more plants currently in spike!
I put my name on one as soon as Chuck offered it so am sure we got them about the same time. For me, this was a flask that just took off and really grew.
Here is the first bloom from flast CA913 - Phragmipedium Jordan’s Peach Tango x kovachii ‘Peruvian Dream’
There are a few more in bud so look forward to seeing the variation in the first few.
I have had quite a number of these over the years and concur on the bloom shyness. I selected this one for plant size as it is only 9 inches wide. Most of the others I have grown had fans up to twice as wide. It will be fun to watch it as it matures.
I used to grow quite a number of Paphs...it's been too many years. Decided this one had to come home with me. I am so glad I decided to take the plunge!
