Memoria Dick Clement ‘Mercerful’

[kitfox]

When I bought this one from Linda at Seagrove Orchids, she told me this was one of her favorite orchids. High praise. And well deserved. The petals are hard to capture in a way that does them justice, but I love the color and the undulations. I cherish phrag season!

Eye Candy! Love the pouch freckles.

Did any of the FL members know Mercer Stowers? Would love to attach some anecdotes to his namesake...

Yay besseae hybrids! Looks like a Phrag. Rosalie Dixler. Mike that's not a Mem. Dick Clements.

Now if I can just get my four y/o sargentianum to bloom...

Thank you. I always wondered if it was mislabeled. I appreciate your input!!!
