Phrag. Ecuabess (flavum)

[NYEric]

..from Fox Valley Orchids. I don't know if you know it but Tom Kalina is responsible for saving the original sport of the flavum besseae! There's a story I read on the 'net about it somewhere.

That has a lot of potential. Is this the first blooming?

I too have one of these and am familiar with Tom and his story about them. I get to see him a few times a month. LUCKY ME!!!!

Tell me more! I'm intrigued! I've heard rumors of a peeved customer saying something like "this isn't red!" but what are the details?

No, I rec'd it previously bloomed. I will try to find and link the story about the flavum besseae here.

Are those botlles distilled water for the orchids?

 

[NYEric]

Yes, they're R.O. water, 2-3 gallons per day.

Haha, that's quite the story!
Like a scene from a movie or something. Thanks for digging that up!
