More and more kovachii's are coming into bloom for us. Below are 3 from 3 different crosses that I thought I would show, to show some of the variation within this species.
The fist is Phrag. kovachii 'Corupuna' (named after a mountain in Peru). It is a cross between 'Maximus' and 'Goliath':
Close up of the pouch:
The second one is Phrag. kovachii 'Yerupaja' (named after another mountain in Peru). It is a cross between 'Tupac Amaru' and 'Maximus'. This particular plant had 2 flowers spikes with 2 flowers open at the same time. This particular clone had one of the lightest flowers that I have seen thus far. Also the flower spike itself was very "green" and did not have much pigments. I decided to self it, to hopefully get even lighter flowers, and who knows eventually albino kovachii's?
The whole plant:
2 Flowers:
Close up of one flower:
Pouch (notice it is a lot lighter in color compared to the pouch of 'Corupina':
And last, Phrag. kovachii 'Tamagochi'. This particular plant had a flower spike with 3 flower buds! It is a cross between 'Goliath' and 'Jewel'.
