Phrag. fischeri 'Purple Puff' (x self)

[tomkalina]

Just added to the Fox Valley Orchids, Ltd. website. It's been a long time since we (or anyone else, for that matter) offered this wonderful species from Northern Ecuador/Southern Colombia at a reasonable price. ($ 35.00 + s/h. )

Tom, that's pretty pink for a fischeri!

Hey Eric,

Thanks for bringing that to my:evil: attention. Poor choice of backgrounds; the color is a lot darker than that. See attached better photo:wink:

I probably shouldn't have seen this.

 

[NYEric]

What size are the plants?

 

[tomkalina]

Eric,

The 6 inch leaf span seedlings are sold out; only 4-5 inch leaf span seedlings left, but they are growing nicely. Didn't expect this great a response.....

This bloom makes trying to smuggle orchids across the border seem like a reasonable idea.

Great looking blooms! Nice color saturation.

I wish we saw more of these, and their crosses. Red besseaes are getting old (sorry Eric) though I still love the reds, I'd love to see more pinks gain popularity again

Can't get any of your plants in Canada by myself, but the states still influence us

Hi Fren,

I'm sorry as well. Unfortunately, the closest we get to Canada is the Palm Sunday Michigan Orchid Society show in Madison Heights. I think Phrag. fischeri has been, and will continue to be, a stepping stone for developing compact growing Phrag hybrids in shades of rose-pink. This style of breeding interests us very much.

Thanks,

So you're saying you want more besseae x fischeri crosses, or just fischeri x ???. oke:

I think he's wanting more besseae var. flava!

:smitten: I'd like one of those. Dang borders.

Nice offering. I tried this species once....it died before I got it out of the box!

Hmmm, maybe you need to re-read my "Miscellaneous Stuff" thread!

Yes, definitely not an easy species!
