Phrag christiansenianum

[labskaus]

Another one of the diminutive species and certainly not much widespread in collections. I received my division from Franz Glanz,
the cultivar is '"Hans BM/DOG". Enjoy!

Best wishes, Carsten

Very nice, you do not see that very often. Do you have a sargentianum or lindleyanum in bloom at the moment? If so, you should cross them together. The reason that I ask, is because I think that what I have been calling Phrag. brasiliense might be christiansenianum x sargentianum (I think you are the one that gave me the idea, when we were talking about brasiliense earlier), so I am curious to see what this hybrid would look like. If the resulting hybrid does look like brasiliense, brasiliense actually may be a natural hybrid between the two, as both species occur in the same area, and what we know as brasiliense has been around before christiansenianum was described, so it cannot be a manmade hybrid between the two.

May not be as showy but it deserves a place in collections! NICE!:clap::clap:

You are right it's obviously not widespread and therefore really seldom shown.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen this one before.

Hi Robert,
I don't have sargentianum or lindleyanum at all, and I haven't kept pollen from christiansenianum (Aaargh!), sorry. The plant is out of flower by now. Well, missed chances. I'll certainly keep pollen next time (I'll remember this thread),

best wishes, Carsten
