P. besseae flavum "Green Gold"

[Cheoah]

This one also from Tom K at Fox Valley, first bloom. It has more vigor than another mature flavum in my collection, "Pisgah Gold" but I also have a batch of seedlings from flask that are pretty vigorous. New Kid x Rob I think?

Tom’s besseae knock me out. I know I’ll have to have another go again soon.

It's a beauty!

Beautiful besseae! The color and fenestrations are wonderful.

Well, it’s good to see someone’s doing well!!I got Tom’s last seedling if that offering and have almost killed it. It’s still tiny, 2” pot but is starting a new leaf so looks like it may survive. I need to not buy small seedlings of Paphs or Phrags. Always have a challenge with them.

Yay besseae flavum!!
Thanks for sharing.
If you grow those seedlings out to pot-able (not as in to drink) size and want to get rid of a few, let me know.

Did it dry out? Or get hot?

Who knows? Possible dried a bit. I’m doing better now, but I brought home about 12 small, but growing (2-3”) pots from Hadley a few years ago and darn near killed at least half of them. Lost about 1/3, but hey 2/3 made it!!
