Phragmipedium Waunakee Sunset

[Jaljala]

I love sunsets :drool:
Got this plant as a seedling last January from FV gardens, they always have great plants, young but very healthy. I can't wait to see the fischerii I got from them too!

Love that color. Nicely photographed.

Sharp!

 

[trdyl]

Nice!

Ok, I have to say it. Looks like a Phrag. Jersey to me.

Very nice and beautifully photographed, but I do agree with Eric, it looks like the tag is wrong.

 

[Jaljala]

Thank you Eric and e-spice for your input!
I looked it up and you are most certainly right . I will
contact the seller for his opinion. I've always been very happy with their plants, so I am sure it would be a genuine tag error.

 

[NYEric]

That happens.

Waunakee Sunset is Barbara LeAnn x besseae, right?

Maybe it is (Barbara LeAnn x Jersey) or (Barbara LeAnn x dalessandroi)... If so, some people could say it is a true WS...

Looks like straight besseae or Jersey, but definitely not Waunakee Sunset.

When I first saw this flower, I thought it didn't look like any of mine, but I didn't say anything. I came back to this thread so I could post that I didn't think it is Waunakee Sunset. I was wondering about Jersey, also.

nice

Really beautiful! But, I agree with the others. Not a W.S. There's no fischeri in that. I too think it's either pure besseae, or Jersey.

 

[Jaljala]

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

 

[NYEric]

Jersey.

 

[Jaljala]

will do, Eric!
Damn, now I have to find a real Waunakee Sunset!!! :evil:

 

[John M]

Why are you so sure it's a Jersey, Eric?

 

[NYEric]

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.

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?

 

[NYEric]

Could be; but why would you want to???
