my first bloom from this cross besseae flavum Xcaudatum Sanderae

 

[Ron-NY]

not bad for a first bloom! I have this cross but still not at blooming size...I am anxious to see how mine will turn out

Interesting that even though the flavum besseae was used, that the pouch and the petals turned out red. It would be interesting to backcross this to a flavum besseae, or to self it, maybe you would get all yellow Ruby Slippers (and we would have to call them Gold Slippers).

If the pouch really that teeny compared to the long lateral petals, [itlooks like a funhouse mirror photo!]
Yay besseae hybrids!

So am I! Although they had a growth splurt in fall, I would still think they're a couple of years from blooming.

Is time bloom - hopefully the pouch will widen next time?
