WOW! Normally I don't care of the "orange" and this

Does this crawl? Growing this in a tray?
Done. We're doing some breeding with this clone now, so it may be four months.
Linus - It clumps rather than crawls, because like all true Phrag. d'alessandroi the new growths emerge fairly close to the main plant. (The photo shows the back of the 'DD#2' clone with two new growths to illustrate). We are growing this species, as well as all of our Phrag. besseae breeding plants, in 10 x 20 trays with slotted bottom drainage. The trays should be available at most garden centers once they reopen.

I like this plant and I do like the color. Mike

This came from Denis? Nice. Yay besseae (v. dalessandroi)!
Yes. To quote Cribb - "botanically, there seems little to be gained by recognizing P. d'alessandroi at species rank but horticulturally, its status has been recognized and that decision is accepted here." He then includes the description of P. d'alessandroi as written by Dodson and Gruss in Die Orchidee 1996. I'm not sure Cribb's treatment decides the question one way or the other so for the time being, we are calling it P. d'alessandroi.
Wonderful clone!
Wow Tom. I would like to add my name to your list for this baby.
