Ahh... I had thought you were referring to some website when you mentioned DrOrchid. He's been a bit quiet lately, and I'm a newbie to this forum, hence my confusion. I know Orchids Ltd very well, been buying from Jerry for about 14 years I think. He creates great plants. But that St. Ouen flavum you have knocks the ball out of the park..!

it is definitely the best yellow phrag hybrid I have seen.
Stunning.

Here is a link. As you can see the color is quite variable.

This hybrid is not available anymore but, of course, you can ask Orchids Lted if they can sell you a divison. Or maybe they remade the cross?

Drorchid showed a few other plants of this cross on Slippertalk:

I did actually remake it, using a 4N besseae flavum. I didn't get as many plants this time, but hopefully they should be available in one to two years. And yes, we may have some divisions for sale as well. I think two of our plants got an AM/AOS from this cross.

Btw, sometimes you can use 3N plants as parents, but the only way you get viable seed is by crossing them back to a 4N parent. And yes, I have crossed one of these 3N Saint Ouens back to a 4N besseae flavum, and did get some viable seedlings to grow. Unfortunately these will be for the most part all aneuploids (almost tetrapoid plants, but missing some chromosomes). Very rarely will these breed, but usually it will be a dead end..

Beautiful flower, but I'm a sucker for pure yellow flowers. Summer vacation in Quebec sounds great :rollhappy:

Yes!!!! Although we always complain about the bad weather. It is our national sport (with hockey of course)
