Waunakee Wonder x dalessandroi

[orchid527]

This is a first bloom seedling three years out of a flask from Chuck Acker. The natural spread is 11cm and the petals are 7cm long. The color is quite intense, but doesn't show very well on this gloomy day. I have bloomed several of these and they have all been interesting. The first one bloomed last year and may be a little better, but I like the twist on these petals. Mike

Like it. Has some character. Great job from flask.

Pretty. Do these produce branched spikes?

I'm expecting this to branch when it is a little larger, but for this blooming there was none. Mike

Nice. I don't usually like this longer petalled type but this one is an exception,

I'm not a long petal besseae hybrid fan, but it's not bad . Yay besseae hybrids!

Well, I'm a fan...a BIG fan! I think it's lovely and I like the
twist as well. I'd be happy to have one like this in my
greenhouse.

Ha! In the process of repotting today, I found Waunakee Wonder 'High Point' HCC/AOS x dalessandroi. I was in
total envy about your plant and I have one. That's when
one knows one has more plants than one thought!

 

[SlipperFan]

That is very lovely.
