Phragmipedium Sabloniere

[ORG]

The hybrids with Phragmipedium dalessandroi or the hybrid Phragmipedium Jersey (besseae X dalessandroi) produce normally plants with the growths near together and not like the hybrids with besseae with climbing growths with long distances.
A wonderful example is the cross between Phrag. Jersey and Phrag. Memoria Dick Clements, the
Phragmipedium Sabloniere.
Last week I could make pictures in the collection of Franz Glanz in Unterwössen. The flower is really similar in color and shape to Phrag. Jason Fischer, but is really a compact grower.

Beautiful, Olaf! Great red. I like the growth pattern -- now I'll have to look for one of these. Besseae is nice, but for compactness, you can't beat dalessandroi!

Amazing deep colour!!! WOW!

What a beauty and one more at the top of my wanted phrag list.

 

[Erythrone]

Wish list....

Thanks for sharing!

I have forgotten the following picture, which I made in the greenhouse of Franz Glanz. It shows a plant of besseae overgrown by ferns, really only one plant before it shall be repotted.

Here you can see the big distances between the growths.

EYOF plant? Nearly impossible to get here. I dont really consider that compact IMO. Nice colors though. Yay besseae hybrids!

Has this one been shown in Dijon at the WOC?

And great cross, the Sablonière!!! Jean

The big plant of besseae was not shown in Dijon, it was another clone.

Wonderful red color! :clap:

 

[Marc]

I like the deep red color

 

[tomkalina]

Very nice, Olaf - I wonder what breeding it to a good fischeri would produce?

 

[NYEric]

A more compact plant, with a different color and shape bloom! oke:

 

[tomkalina]

Do ya' think?

 

[NYEric]

You should be happy I didn't say "a Phrag!"

 

[etex]

Lovely bloom!

 

[toddybear]

Fantastic! I can't seem to grow besseae itself...maybe I need to interplant it with ferns!

I agree! For me, besseae just doesn't grow.
Great color!
