A couple of Schomburgs

[e-spice]

Here are a couple of my Fritz Schomburgs (besseae x kovachii) in bloom. I've posted a photo of the salmon one before but don't think I've posted the pink one. Fritz Schomburg is my favorite kovachii hybrid so far.

The pink one is a large, multigrowth plant. The salmon one is a small plant and a first bloomer. I like both but think the salmon one has more potential.

Both fantastic Geff, but I agree about the salmon one.

In S/H? (I went from flask to 3.5" S/H pots with these, and they are all growing nicely.)

They are so beautiful! I wish I could grow them as well!

Thanks Ray. Yes - they're growing S/H. You shouldn't have had to ask!

I agree with Ray on this one. The salmon one is certainly the best.

The form of the salmon one is wonderful, but, I think I prefer the color of the pink one. Can I ask, how long the blooms have been open?

The photo is about a month old and I don't recall how long they had been open at that point. One nice thing about the salmon one is it doesn't lose its form as it ages, as so many kovachii hybrids do.

I also like the hybrid. Very nice!

Both are very nice and desirable for me...

I think it's a fun thing to have two, and that they are different in color.

Yay besseae hybrids! The salmon one has better shape and substance.

Yes, but I like both a lot!!!! Jean
