Phrag. Waunakee Sunset 'Anna Claire' HCC/AOS

[eaborne]

(Barbara LeAnn x besseae var. flavum)
This is a unique hybrid I got from OrchidBabies and got awarded a couple years ago. This was one of only three seedlings that resulted from the cross of a regular Phrag. Barbara LeAnn and a besseae var. flavum. I have 5 Waunakee Sunset's (4 regular color forms) and they are ALL climbers or make long stolons. I divided a different Waunakee Sunset plant and the stolons between one set of growths and the other was 5 inches! The colors are darker in the cooler months but it's still pretty even in the heat of the summer!

The two color tones work really well together. Nice to see the yellow tint coming through.

Yay besseae hybrids!

Lovely and interesting. If the stolons get too long and
hard to manage, try air layering. I've done it and it works
quite well. The advantage is getting another plant and
getting those long stolons under control.

Angela, what is "air layering"..?

That's when you place some pourous material around the bottom of the growth on a stolon to let it set roots, then after it does you can separate it.
