2 Phrag Fritz Shombergs

[Gilda]

So, so different. One is coral with yellow throat and prominent widows, other is rose with white throat, it's spike is much taller . Was this way last year, too.

Both are lovely!

Super and no reflexing either!

I prefer the first one because of the petals, but both are nice. Gilda, is there any chance that these are from OZ breeding with the besseae "Mega" clone. He was selling flasks of Fritz Schomburg a few years ago and there should be some in flower by now. Mike

Mike,
Yes, the top one is from OZ. I do not know the breeding ...it came in an order
as a surprise and I was told to change the name tag . I was told OZ routinely put false tags in to cut down on theft.
The short one is from HP Norton.

I immediately noticed the petals hadn't reflexed
too. Outstanding! I like them both very much.

Yay besseae hybrids! Is the one from HP Norton made with besseae flavum? Last time I visited HP he had some of those that would be nice crossed back to besseae flavum.

Tag doesn't say Eric, I'm sure it was with the color being peachy, coral. Very yellow inside pouch,

Cross w/ besseae flavum if you have a chance!

Eric, I'll send you the pollen next time it blooms. Too old to fool with babies
