Phrag besseae 'Red Wing'

[gonewild]

I resurrected a small nearly dead plant from the collection of Norris Powell that was labeled besseae "Red Wing'. I don't know know anything about the clone but I suspect it is an older one. It just opened up a flower.

 

[SlipperFan]

Well named!

 

[P-chan]

Nice save! It's a beauty!

 

[paphjoint]

Very pretty !!

I have that clone but alas never a flower despite 3 growths.

 

[SlipperKing]

Again, nice save. Do you thinks it's a collected plant or a F2?

 

[Elena]

Fantastic save, I think it's gorgeous!

:clap: Well done! Looks like a classic bess! :clap:

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Nice deep and rich red!

 

[Leo Schordje]

A great example of the 'wild type' of besseae, before line breeding rounded them out. A pretty and worthy plant.

It's really horrible. You should mail it to me, just to get it out of your collection. :drool:

 

[NYEric]

What did you do to revive it? Yay besseae!
