Phragmipedium besseae var. dalessandroi

[suss16]

Just picked this up last week from Hadley when he spoke at our OS meeting.

Lovely! But I still can't understand why there lumped with besseae.

 

[W. Beetus]

Nice! I like the shape of your plant.

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae v. dalessandroi! Was that very expensive?

 

[SlipperFan]

It's beautiful. But I thought it was a separate species now. Did things change again???

He's pretty much a slipper specialist. Pushes real heavy in Paph hybrids (especially complex). Just a teeny bit odd to see a species phrag come out of Marriot.

I am not real "up" on the latest names of Phrags, but that is what was on the tag. It could be plain dalessandroi for all I know. My plant appears to be a division.

Yeah, I do not see phrags from him often - he also had a schlimii for sale which I missed. But everything else he had in bloom were real, big, fat complex Paphs (and a few species).

Thanks Eric and Rick.

He's got a complex paph on Ebay right now for about $1100.00


Hope your beautiful phrag was a little cheaper.

I like that coloration!!! Jean

I think it is a separate species now but not 100% sure. That's a great bloom.

I like yours and hopefully I have one on the way in the post.
