ANY besseae is a good besseae in my mind!!!
Congratulations!

It's not bad; very compact & it doesn't walk. Might be useful for mini breeding where tiny leafspans & short stolons are the goal.

I love the flower!!! However is it just me or is it that phragmipediums and bulbophyllum seem to look sickly but they still produce flowers. However when I grow them they look good but never bloom. So jealous maybe I should give my plants some tough love

The one I posted the other day is also very small and compact.

Weird photo but the plant is lovely. I’d be proud of it.

Well I've found its redeeming feature. That first flower, which opened on August 5th, is still holding and looking fresh. (Phone pic colors are not accurate)
