Phrag Don Wimber

[blondie]

Hi

So this one has finally flowered for me I got this in a group of orchids seven phrags. It now after two years, it growing well and flowering. All the phrags I has all had rhizoctonia which I have pretty much irradicated.

Was damn hard as nearly all the fungicides that kill this fungus have been removed from the market in the UK, to which I was told to just throw the plants in the bin and start again. But a very good farmer friend gave the last of his fungicde to use.

Im very happy with the bloom and the colour of the flower.

That is a great shape that makes me suspect it might be a tetraploid (4N).

That is a special Don Wimber. Could well be 4n,

Great flower! Much rounder petals than typical for a Don Wimber.

Thanks I can go back far enough to tell that the plant originally came for, the EYOF but that's about it as much. Whether it is a 4N I can't confirme. The only reason i got it as it was the runt ofthe collections Don Wimbers.
It s a lovley looking flower and plant can't complain at all.

I have done a quick messure up of the flower.

The width comes out at 4 inch wide.
The length comes out at 3 3/4 inch
