Phrag. besseae fma. flavum

[silence882]

Hi All,

My first Phrag. besseae fma. flavum from flask has bloomed! The cross is from Chuck Acker and is 'Chuck's Choice' AM/AOS x 'Germany #2'. It has a NS of 6.5 cm. I'm quite happy with this one.



Plant in a 2" pot:


I've got 8 more from this cross spiking and will post pics as they bloom:

That's damn nice. Award quality, I'd wager, once it reaches adulthood.

This is lovely!

Very nice and good looking culture on the plant.
How long from flask?

I'll be blooming these 9 out and then seeing how many I want to keep. I am sentimentally attached to these since I've grown them from flask. Ideally I'd save them all for a second blooming but I'm already out of room and have more seedlings growing. Unfortunately I don't know of any way to get phrags back and forth from Columbia. Otherwise I would've coerced you into selling a Green Hornet.

These guys are 32 months out of flasks. I had them in too low light for a long time so I bet better culture could've shaved 6 months off that.

That's damn nice. Award quality, I'd wager, once it reaches adulthood.

Great, now I'm terrified. I've never bloomed anything potentially award quality that isn't a division of something already awarded. This guy is pretty flat aside from a slightly cupped dorsal.

I am so excited to see these as I have about 15 of the same cross from Chuck Acker but only out of the flask since last November. If they turn out any where near this nice I will be very happy.

I do have a way to get the plants from US to Colombia. The other way is more complicated, specially for Phrags.

Killer. Nice growing.

Wow, Stephen, you are doing very well.

 

[abax]

Excellent flower and I'll buy one too when you decide you
can part with one or two. I assume you have no problems
getting plants to KY. ;>)

 

[NYEric]

Crafty!
Yay besseae!
FYI. Shipping out is no problem.

#2 is blooming with a NS of 6.4 cm. Not quite as nice as #1 - the petals have a pinch to them and they're not as wide or symmetrical. But I still like it.

Oddly, the spike on this one has a lower bract whereas #1 did not. Most of the ones in spike right now have the bract.

I'll be on vacation for all of next week. I'm hoping I'll have one or two more open when I get back.
