Phrags.

[NYEric]

I just got off the phone with Chuck Acker and he mentioned a grower in the Denver area who has bloomed out Phrag. besseae flavum x manzurii. Is this a member of our forum and are any available for sale or trade? i'm also looking for straight manzurii, thanks.

A while ago I asked Chuck to make besseae flavum x manzurii, and he declined. Order off the website only.

Why don't you just get one of his manzurii flasks?

Willowbrook Orchids has some seedlings for sale.

I got 2 fairrieanums and a Lady Rothschild from them last year.
They are nice plants and doing well.

David Manzur made both: manzurii var albiflurum x besseae and x besseae flavum. He has registered the hybrid as Phrag. Manzur-LaAldea.
Phrag. manzurii albiflorum is the one described (yellow form without red coloration in the staminode). David usually do not sell plants but he could be open to trade...

 

[NYEric]

Hmmmm.. I wonder what he is interested in?

Didn't see this when it was first posted, but I purchased a flask of besseae var flavum "Chuck's Choice" AM/AOS x manzurii, CA476, and I have an extra compot that I could trade. It has nine 1-2 inch seedlings and they all appear to be in good shape.

Although I just purchased 2 seedlings of that cross. What are you looking for to trade?

A swap for paph seedlings would be nice. If you are interested, PM me a list of some of your extras. I have a preference for multis and parvis.

Like the Magic Lantern albums I got from you!? :rollhappy:

 

[Chicago Chad]

How are those doing for you? Mine are moving along quite well. Much faster than I thought they would be.

These are all small, but healthy. The Magic Lantern albas seemed to be extra vigorous. These are just normal. To be honest, I don't have any experience with manzurii hybrids, but I'm guessing that these will bloom in about 4 years, maybe the strongest of the bunch in only 3 years. Phrag besseae seems to grow fast and bloom early for me on small plants. I am hoping these will be comparable.

I find besseae like light!

Since I'm here on the enabling thread, I'm now looking for Phrag. Ackers Ice, (Phrag. Rosy Charm x Phrag. Barbara LeAnn); and Phrag. Ackers Sweetheart, (Phrag. Barbara LeAnn x Phrag. Hanne Popow). If anyone has these crosses that they will sell or divide to sell, let me know, thanks.

Check Chuck's website.

Why?

Did you ever find the flauvum besseae x manzurii? He has flasks for sale
