David Manzur made this cross using his albiflorum clone of the schlimii fma. manzuri with a besseae fma. flavum. It is a charming flower. Enviado desde mi SM-J700M mediante Tapatalk

This is the tiny longifolium gracile, it was a gift from a friend and it seems to me quite interesting! I am crossing it with anguloi to make a Sedenii-like hybrid but smaller. Enviado desde mi SM-J700M mediante Tapatalk

Yes you are right. This is our Sedenii made with manzurii. Petals are shorter. Enviado desde mi SM-J700M mediante Tapatalk

Sedenii

A better picture. I put aside our best anguloi. Enviado desde mi SM-J700M mediante Tapatalk

Hi John. Thanks for your comments!. Yes you are very right, the form and size are strongly dependent on the temperatures in Phrags. Here we are having 25C max and 12C min and the kovachii plants are growing very fine and producing decent flowers. Will try to take a better picture tomorrow, today...

This is a first blooming plant. I think that it is from Alfredo Manrique but I am not sure because I lost the tag . I got from him few tiny plants about 7 years ago and killed most part of them before our move to colder climate. It is not so big (6 inch) but I think that it is going to be a...

So Nice! I love it!

great expectation for a great cross!

I like it!

The wild population is quite healthy with several hundreds plants! The only reason why it remained un-rediscoverd is because it is in one area where only fisherman arrive. Only one plant was taken some years ago and it was growing in the collecion of one of my friends that did not know about the...

The x sib is always the first cross, but it is fun to play making other crosses.

If you want whites...what about crossing it with xrichteri? :evil:

It is a very nice one. Are you breeding with it?

Eric, It is going to be very soon.

Sure! We are making dissections of the flowers of all the known populations of schlimii, anguloi, fischeri and andreettae. It is going to be the core of my WOC talk. Also it is included in the Braem book. I feel so lucky of having hundreds of "schlimii" flowers to study and dissect :)

It was found in the Central Cordillera of Colombia during the late 1800s. I think that very-very few plants remain in cultivation in Europe, if any at all. It was only rediscovered very recently by a fisherman. It is the palest form of schlimii, very narrow leaves and quite vigorous.

It is longifolium... hartwegii is synomim of longifolium. Someone invented that the "bald" longifolium is hartwegii but hartwegii was never described this way. This is a very interestin reading...

Thanks a lot Florian. The staminode shape can be somehow variable in this species. Also the hairs are in some populations absent. Look this one from South Colombia.

Sorry Roberto I do not get your point about the staminode shape. Why is different a longifolium fma capadendense fom a regular one? In some pictures the side lobes of the pouch does have a somehow different pattern of dotting... but in the illustration seems to me the same as the regular...
