Phrag. Waunakee Sunset

[Phrag-Plus]

Nice cross! Very interesting and good idea to show different forms and coloration from a cross...
Thanks!

I'm surprised yours' are so pink?! R U sure these are Waunakee Sunsets?

Well, they all came out of the same flask, labeled Waunakee Sunset. I did have one red one so far, and lots more to bloom out.

If it's CA I'd show and ask him to confirm.

aren't the majority supposed to turn out pink? that's what a local expert said when I bought my Waunakee Sunset

Maybe I'll send him the URL to this thread.

Look at the type photo. It's on the Flasks by Chuck Ackers website.

Actually, that may not be a "type" photo. It may be the best one of the lot, or his favorite.

Perfect flower!!! The pouch is extraordinary!!!!

NYEric will like this one. This is #8, and probably the best one so far. The color and shape demanded that I make it a bit larger than usual.

Fabulous! :clap::drool: Do you know what clones were used? I just got a Waunakee Sunset (Barbara LeAnn 'Mimosa' x besseae 'Prince of Orange') from Orchids Ltd., and hope it turns out as nice!

 

[NYEric]

No clones!

 

[Drorchid]

Yes, Dot, I agree that #8 is my favorite thus far!!

I have noticed that when we made this cross (that is the Barbara LeAnn 'Mimosa' x besseae 'Prince of Orange', Kevin is talking about), has been very variable, both in the shape of the flowers, and also in the color. The color has ranged from a light pink, coral pink, dark pink, red to magenta in color.

Here is a link to the first ones of our cross that bloomed:

So if you buy an unbloomed seedling it will be the luck of the straw to what color it will be. Kevin, be sure to post a picture of yours when it blooms!
