Phrag. d'allesandroi

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Can't remember who this one came from, but I got it as a seedling a few years back. Not the best form, but very brightly colored.

Oh man, that looks fantastic! I'll add that to my list. Does it have a noticable horn on the lower part of the staminode?

 

[Heather]

The size and transparency of the "windows" on these always amazes me. I think at least one of the ones I have of these is actually the hybrid (Jersey?) but the windows from dalessandroi sure came through.

My other one is in spike. Wonder what it will actually turn out to be!

 

[Greenpaph]

Very nice!

thanks

I like the variation in color.

Looks good jon, Can we see a whole plant shot?

Besseae has the horn (90% of the time). Heres a pic of a dalessandroi staminode flanked by two besseae staminodes. The horn is pretty obvious.

Thanks Kyle. I had gotten them backwards.

 

[Gideon]

Lovely colour

 

[Rick]

Do you have spike branching too Jon?

 

[DavidM]

That is a lovely plant, does it need the same growing condtions as besseae?
