Phragmipedium Waunakee Sunset

[SlipperFan]

The shape is not besseae but more dalessandroi. I don't know about nbs dalessandroi but Tom has god sized Jerseys. BTW,Waunakee Sunset is not that common, try looking up photos.

Waunakee Sunset has quite a bit of color variation. I had a bunch of them, but gave most of them away. Or they died.

Thank you all. I'll put a ? on the tag then...

Nice flower!
WS was first registered as Barbara LeAnn x besseae but besseae x Barbara LeAnn will bare the same cross epithet. What is on the tag?

We used to think about Jersey when we see something looking in between straight besseae and straight dalessandroi... but there could be (Jersey) x dalessandroi or (Jersey x besseae) too... Or other combinaison.... I am right?

Yes! I'm agreed with you! As we know, dallessandroì was first considered as besseae and both were crossed and sold as besseae. They could have been Jersey, Samares or Karame too before the recognition of the species status.…

The reason why some ‘’besseae’’ x self can give a wide amount of variation between the two species now… And difficult to really know what they really are!

In this cross if it is besseae x Barbara LeAnn on is tag? During the manipulation when making a cross it is always possible than some pollen touch the ovary before or during the manipulation and give a % of autogamous self.

Thanks for the info! If besseae was the pod parent this could have been different outcome… But this clarifies the clue for me it is mislabelled plant….!
