Phrag kovachii X Living Fire

[Ron-NY]

This cross has been more variable than the others. One bloomed pink but this one has bloomed red. I don't care for the form on this bloom but hopefully there will be others with better form.

I think it is a rather nice form on the bloom! :drool:

 

[NYEric]

Is this first posting, what is the flower size? It's kind of nice, especially for those who like frilly flowers. [Not me of course]

 

[Ron-NY]

I haven't taken an actual measurement but I would estimate a 5" petal spread.

How long was the flower open when you took the picture?

 

[Candace]

Do you own one of this cross, Ron? I like that it's different. You know just by looking at it what one of the parents is. I'd like to see purple!

 

[li'l frog]

Dare one ask if it has been registered yet, and what its name will be?

 

[SlipperFan]

Interesting how the kovachii pouch comes through.

Lance I am not sure. I have had a hectic week and have not been to the greenhouse much. It wasn't opened Saturday when I was there and did not get a chance to get back there until yesterday. Glen has been out of the country, so there was no one around to get that info from.

Candace I do have one of each that Piping Rock has listed.

Rob I know it has been registered and for the life of me, I can't recall what this one was registered as. I know the Walter Schomburg cross was named Phrag Alfredo Manrique

Thank you Ron
Nice picture for a very interesting PK hybrid. Can Alfredo and I use them for our lectures at the WOC in MIami 2008?
It is good to know these hybrids are in excellent growers care.
Enjoy the new babies...

Thanks Ron,
Very nice flower.

I've got one of those that looks like it might bloom soon. Nice to see a preview. Maybe better form on subsequent flowers.

Ron - Thanks for posting these photos! I guess Phrag Alfredo Manrique has bloomed before, otherwise it wouldn't be named. Anyone know where a photo is?

I didn't order one because I thought [doh!] Living Fire would be more green!

I missed that one blooming but there are a couple more in bud, so I will make sure I get a pic to share.

 

[Ron-NY]

I measured it today and the leaf span is 15" the petal width is 6".

I took a couple more pics

 

[Gilda]

I love it ~:drool:

Thanks again Ron
This is so big.... And we have not seen yet the PK hybrids with caudatum and related species....
Have you all a good weekend
