Phrag. Ackers Starlight

[NYEric]

This is Phrag. Acker's Starlight [Phrag. Twilight x besseae] made with an orange besseae. Mr. Acker also made the cross w/ besseae 'Paute' a more red besseae; which I haven't seen yet. The first bloom I posted before but didn't mention because it was damaged, by insecticide application I think. This may be one of my favorite flowers as the color is nicer than can be seen in the photo, it has sequential, is a small plant, and has big flowers.
