Phrag. Stacey Ann

Received this a few months ago and it flowered! This is day 2 of it being open. Seems to do well in the office environment. Not a huge fan of how it grows though since it puts out long rhizomes and is already growing outside of the pot.

very nice. Looks like a pure besseae!

My thoughts exactly!

Fiery!

I think you are mistaken. I don't see any registered Phrag. Stacey Ann, there is a Stacey Ann Lynn (Albopurpureum x besseae), which this clearly is not. Your bloom does look like pure line-bred besseae. Yay!

That's what I thought as well. I received this from a member on orchidsforum.com since someone offered it to me for no cost, but I've been wanting a besseae anyways so no complaints here!

could also be a Jersey (besseae x dalessandroi) which is basically besseae in today's parlance... wait and see if it branches (although that's not a dead giveaway anymore either)

Either way nice bloom !

Stacey Ann might have been a clonal name. This is a besseae.

Nice besseae!

 

[Cklinger]

Very windswept! I wonder if my office AC affected the production of the flower.

Edit: This was on the second bloom

Is this the original bloom in your first post?!!!?

No no, this is the second bloom! I should’ve noted that when I posted the photo lol

Oh my, what a disappointment for you...all of us really. The first bloom was so nice I
was envious. Damn!!!

 

[NYEric]

OOOPS! Nice disa!

 

[eaborne]

The next bloom should be nice again. Beautiful!

If I had a living besseae that flowered I would be happy no matter which direction it waved its arms)
