Phrag. Belle Houge Point

[Candace]

The flask I bought of this in '04 is finally blooming out. There were a year or so that they weren't receiving enough water so they sulked a bit. The cross is from Acker of Eric Young 'Rocket Fire'4n x caudatum var. sanderae which I guess would make this a 3n plant and probably sterile. The couple I've bloomed out were similar and I think I've got another few in bud. So far this one is my favorite. It's growing in s/h, inside the g.h. in high light.

Love it! Are these quite large?

 

[goldenrose]

Yes!!!

 

[Candace]

They are rather beastie.

Back to admiring the pics then I'd love more phrags (only have 1, don't tell Eric) but the space is limited so no big monsters for me.

 

[SlipperFan]

That's beautiful, Candace. Excellent color and wonderful petals.

 

[Greenpaph]

That is excellent, Candace!

What is the overall vertical measurement?

I will post mine soon.
:drool:

 

[Candace]

It's 7" long from the top of the dorsal to the bottom of the petals.

MY EYES!!! Oh Yay besseae hybrids!

 

[Rayb]

Beautiful plant . Is it a very large plant I kNow they get big.Is this a first bloom

 

[Candace]

Yes, this is its first bloom. If you know how large caudatum gets, it's a smidge smaller than that. Most of mine are only a couple of growths right now, but would definately be bench hogs when they get more than a few growths in size.

 

[NYEric]

Don't worry about bench hogs; there's always room for more besseae hybrids! :evil:
