St Ouen "Sweet Ice", another white Phrag

[JC94030]

Hi,

I think this is the last super white phrag that I have.
This is St Ouen "Sweet Ice". This is a parent of many of the OZ whites.

Also a photo showing the variation of Phrag besseae type breeding. Everything in the photo is Phrag besseae except "Sweet Ice".

Years ago there was a rumor of a white besseae, but so far no such thing. (just like the alba roth : ) )

It the whiteness of "Sweet Ice" temperature dependent as you mentioned in another thread?

 

[Bolero]

It sparkles!

Love the display with the other plants........I'm quite envious.

 

[JC94030]

In my experience, the white of Sweet Ice is not temp dependent.

Is it the camera or the flower has a slight pink tinge to it? It is a gorgeous bloom, just love the sparkly petals!

 

[JC94030]

You are correct. The pouch has a very slight tinge of pink.

Phrag besseae also has petals that sparkle if you shine the light correctly.

Hi JC,

If you can spare some pollen I would love to cross it with our Phrag. Emerald Fire (I posted a picture of it on another thread).
