An oldie but a goodie :) Not the best, but it was my first kovachii and holds a sentimental value. Been growing this thing for a decade. Looking at it always makes me nostalgic. :)
Well, if I’ve known that this hybrid (Grouville x kovachii) would bloom on such a small plant, I would have taken it out of it’s community pot.. oopsie 😂
i was just wondering if flowers on a first bloom of Woluwense ( or either of it’s parents) didn’t open completely or it just take a long time to open up completely? I just don’t want to get my hopes up and obsess too much 😂
(Hanne Popow x kovachii)
Bought a flask of this cross from Ecuagenera about 5 or 6years ago. Not It’s first blooming but one of the best of the batch. Grown in sphagnum moss and coarse perlite.
Not sure what is the difference between those two crosses. I know hybrids with kovachii tend to have a similar flower. But that’s ridiculous! Anyway, La Vingtaine on the left and Glen Decker on the right :)

Thanks Troy. Maintaining Phrags in the long run needs a lot of discipline and dedication :)
the colour on the Emma Decker is something else. The shape could be better, though.
