klotzscheanum 'Little Princess' x pearcei

 

[SlipperKing]

Wow, Beautiful again!

 

[Ron-NY]

that's different! Not sure if I have seen one of these before.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Cool, it kind of looks like it's mouth is open, singing it's heart out.

 

[P-chan]

Beautiful! :smitten:

we'd certainly remember that one with the looong name if we did!
It's lovely & Dot can always bring out the best

 

[Leo Schordje]

I like the way Dot's picture captured the staminode. It is intermediate between the typical pearci 'eyebrows' and the Klotzscheanum 'horns'. Nicely done Dot, your photo leaves no doubt as to the parentage of the cross.

This came from OL right? I must see if I can get one!

 

[biothanasis]

Beautiful!!!! The pouch and the staminode are great!!!!!!!

 

[Elena]

That's a very sweet flower. I like the light colours.

 

[toddybear]

I really like this one! Another excellent photo!

True -- check with Robert to see if they have any more -- I got this a year or so ago.

Dot,

Very lovely!

How large is the flower and leaf span?

Not big. The flower is a touch less than 2" from pouch tip to top of flower. The tips of the petals are just over 3" apart from each other. The leaves are about 12" in length, quite narrow, like pearcei.

Yes, we do:

This has proven to be a really nice hybrid. It makes a very compact plant, is vigorous and is a reliable bloomer; there always seems to be at least one or two plants in bloom.

It's so beautiful and much different from most phrags in color. If our weather ever warms up enough to ship plants, that will be my first purchase, even tho I promised myself...NO MORE PHRAGS. YOU DID SAY THIS IS A SMALL PLANT, DIDN'T YOU?

Just wait until you see what I get from Marilyn LeDoux and OZ! :evil:

 

[Phrag-Plus]

WoW! very interesting new hybrid for me, nice mix of the two species...
The colors are very nice and I like the contrasting pouch rim... Different!

 

[Gilda]

A beautiful name for a beautiful flower !!:clap:

I'm reviving this thread because this plant received an HCC/AOS award this past weekend at the Greater Lansing Orchid Society show.

And I have a question for Robert:
Can you tell me a little about the name? The judges are curious, and so am I!
