unscientific comparison of a few kovachii crosses

[orchid527]

Have a few of these blooming at the same time and I thought the colors and shapes might be of interest.

The one on the right is besseae x kovachii. I have bloomed quite a few of these and I would describe the color as Pepto Bismol pink.

The second from the right Jason Fischer x kovachii. It is the most recent to bloom out of a flask from Chuck Acker and is the first without a halo. In my opinion, it looks like the besseae x.

The second from the left is dallessandroi x kovachii. I've posted this before, but you can see that it has more red than the two on the right.

The one on the left is Lynn Evans Goldner x kovachii. It is fairly large and has a lot of color, but is poorly shaped. I have another 7 or 8 of these to bloom, so there might be a good one yet.

At a first glance, I thought they were of all same cross with one oddly colored one. lol
I do like the two on the right. They look like twins too.
Congrats!!!

Would you sell any of the Lynn Evans Goldner x?

All nice. Personally, to date, the best Pk hybrid has been HaleyDecker and its progeny.

Sorry, but I've had these for several years and I want to see them bloom. I need to mention that they are fussy little stinkers. They grow like weeds, then abruptly get rot and lose a year of growth. Also, they are the only phrags that have ever blasted buds for me. I suspect that if one ever wins an award, it will die within the month.

I think the is the first pic I've seen of LEG x KV. I have one (that I got from you Mike from the ST auction) and hopefully it blooms soon.

Nice FSs have you there!

I think they're all pretty nice if not actually perfect so far.
