Barbara LeAnn ‘Select’ x Rosalie Dixler ‘FV’

A little history: I purchased this from Tom several years ago as a small seedling. It bloomed last year, but the flower wasn't very good. Color was poor and so was the shape. A good lesson for why to not count on the first flowering to be typical. This one is very nice!

One of my favorite hybrids. I have several of them.

*sniff, sniff* :sob: I have none! 'Must do something about that! This is awesome, Dot. It's hard to believe that it has ever had poor colour and shape. You're right of course. The first bloom is never up to par. It's almost worth pinching out the first spike as soon as it gets out of the leaves and waiting for the second blooming to judge quality.

 

[Mathias]

It is fantastic! :clap:

 

[biothanasis]

Wonderful!! Both in shape and colour!

If the flower holds, or the second one opens in time, it will go to the Ann Arbor Orchid show next weekend. We'll see...

Well, that clinches it! This one goes ont the list.

Very nice!

Contact Tom at Fox Valley. He may have some left and could bring one to the MOS show.

Ya know... I don't know about you guys, but I find this to be more pleasing that Phrag Jason Fischer. I like the pinker color from the dose of fischeri and the fuller form. It also seems to be consistent in the very nice to awesome range. Well done Tom!
