A remake by Orchidbabies. Will Chantry = besseae 'Cow Hollow II' FCC/AOS x klotzscheanum). I really like this little cutie. A little deeper, more even red color would have been nice. Growing in a 2 inch pot.

That's nice! It looks like a mini Phrag. Firestorm. I really like it!
You might get more red saturation if you can cool it down more. The red colour of besseae and it's hybrids is intensified by cool temps experienced while the buds are developing and opening.

Very nice and interesting cross, I really like it!
That's what I'm hoping for. I bought it in bud in October, when Earl Bailey from Orchidbabies gave a talk at our society. He is located in Alabama, which is a little warmer than here in Minnesota.

What a cutie. I like it. Must go look up klotzscheanum though; I don't know that one.

That's good to know. You'll probably get more intense colour next time because the plant will be larger and more mature/strong....and it will have adjusted to your conditions more than it had a chance to do before this bud opened. Plus, as you indicate, the temps are not going to be as high. Looking forward to a photo of the next bloom to compare to this one. This is really nice; so, the next will probably be awesome!

I like the color as it is, actually. The shape is nice, also -- like an arrow.

I like the color too, the deep yellow w/ the row of dots round the lip. I don't know if it'll get darker because the klotzscheanum is light. At least it looks like a bloom on a small plant. Yay besseae hybrids!
