Phrag Ainsworthii

[Achamore]

One of my personal favourites, and this bloom was just calling out to be photographed..! Sedenii x longifolium var. roezlii, registered in 1879.

Phrag Kovachii

 

[Achamore]

Good suggestion, hopefully someone will do that before long. Ainsworthii x kovachii, I can see that would have great colour..!

 

[NYEric]

Thanks for sharing. That might yield a better color than the attempts with schlimii and fischeri. Ainsworthii is not that common anymore though...

Ainsworthii is the same as calurum which is very available in Europe.

Don, your parade of wonderful Phrags. inspires me every
time you post. This one is a beauty in all respects; color,
shape, interesting staminode and appears to be a very
nice size as well. How cool are we talking in American
language? I can't speak metric.

Really!? How about Calurum v Candidula? That's the one made with the white schlimii!!:drool:

 

[SlipperFan]

I don't know how one could improve upon that color! I've never seen a Calurum that deep a red.

 

[trdyl]

Beautiful!

Can't wait to see how mine turns out which is also in spike.

I can see why you like it! In addition to the rich color, the smiling sepals are great.

Nice to see!

Don't you mean the petals..?
