I think these must be the unicorns of the phrag world. Evidently I am not pure enough of heart, because I've never seen anything that I'd call yellow (short of besseae v. flavum, which grows well for me). And I've seen a _lot_ of phrags... I've seen yellow hybrids in a few pictures, but I'm not convinced some of them weren't 'enhanced'.

So, humor me. Post pictures of yellow phragmipedium hybrids. If you have experience breeding these unicorns, I'd love to hear about it. And if you have a division of a good yellow one, PM me. :)

These are some of the photos I have in my phone. The yellow Phrags I have or have seen are:
Cahaba Morning Mist, Don Wimber, Les Augres, Franz Glanz, Mountain Maid, Maria Glanz, Olaf Gruss, Ice Princess, and Golden Eagle. BTW, there is a trick photo below. Just checking that you're paying attention. 5821bdd773a7bb37394e78fefea27239.jpg2df213984fe8a0f5e5ae97b2b9c3a07b.jpgef5a526bf71146d3c5df7a6a60cd977f.jpg7944eb6ecae59b276b324039b280e081.jpgb29536aaf47c0070ec3a409a0d0c5244.jpgfcb93a0259bcbc183e5855b340163bc0.jpg

The besseae looking one (not the philippinense, nice try) is interesting...

Anybody have a picture of that yellow Don Wimber? I remember seeing one years ago on the internet.

BTW, HP Norton had a Fritz Schomburg flavum with yellow fenestres and yellow mid-rib on the lateral sepals! I haven't heard anything from my inquiries to Orchidview, I don't know if Carol has the plants or someone else.
 
There was a spectacular yellow phrag hybrid at the 2016 Paph Forum (I don't remember the cross):

An ebay seller sent me this, Phragmipedium Ackers Lovely X besseae flavum Mini Compot 5-7:

This was the year the Smithsonian had the flavum Don Wimber (I know that is the yellow I took a picture of). I have been questing for one ever since. Including trying to make my own. I have a shot this season. Here is one of my flavum EY and one of my flavum besseas is just starting to spike. e8990d13d3fdbb37f0af525b635b4afb.jpg

I believe that yellow phrag that Tom Miranda had was the Don Wimber from the Smithsonian. Someone sent me a picture of it, but I’m not sure whose picture it is, so I am reluctant to post it.
