looks good! just a friendly note NS is usually measured in centimeters.

Pretty. Looks a lot more like Phrag. Haley Decker than Fritz Schomburg.

Thank Justin. True about the NS. I was being lazy. The NS is 11.1cm.

If it hadn't come from OZ I would probably think so too.

Yay besseae hybrids! Did you get it in bloom/bud?

Yes, I did get it in bloom. While unpacking it, the first bloom which was a little larger and the dorsal sepal was rolled back promptly popped off. This flower at the time was a small bud. I'm glad this one's sepal did not roll back. Now if only the petals will stop rolling...

I would have never guessed a red crossed with a purple flower would produce a pink. Got to love genetics... I wonder if anyone has made this cross with the flavum form of besseae.

Thanks for your comments Eron and Stella.

This past Thursday I was just getting ready to clean the plant up a bit for a local show this last weekend. While I was walking with it to my kitchen the flower popped right off. All I can say is you've got to love Phrags.... At least it did pop off while walking it into the show area.
