Crippled Phrag. Olaf Gruss

[ORG]

Some years ago I get some seedlings of Phrag. Olaf Gruss from Canada. Last years the first one flowered with a normal flower. This year the first flower has a not united synsepal, the second one has the same and also no lip and looks like a lindenii-cross (also when I know that all lindenii-hybrids have a typical shoe).

Here the first flower

here the second one

Here it looks really attractiv

For all who knows not so well the hybrid Phragmipedium Olaf Gruss. It is the hybrid between Phrag. pearcei and Phrag. besseae.

And here another one Phragmipedium Olaf, the cross between dalessandroi and richteri.

Best greetings

Olaf

All what you need to do is to pour a Paulaner Weizen into medium.

Drunk plants make wonky flowers, eh?

I like them, especially the normal ones.

Ya know, I'm surprised the registrar allowed two such similar names, Olaf and Olaf Gruss, especially since the parentage is so similar (and sometimes disputed at the species level- i.e. besseae & d'alessandroi and richteri & pearcei).

Dear Ernee,
I was astonished also that they were accepted with these names.
But peearcei and richteri are really so different when you see them side by side. The same is with besseae and dalessandroi.

Dear Guido,
I would prefer Erdinger Weißbier. If the plants would like the same I have my doubts

Best greetings

One day we will make the experiment and we will be famous ever after

Mine is in spike. We'll see which way it will go. Forgive my ignorance but what is Erdinger Weißbier and Paulaner Weizen. If these are brands of beer, I'm not sure they are available in Canada. Anyway, you are already famous, both of you...oke:

 

[John Boy]

would Edelstoff count as well???

Both are Bavarian Beers from Munic and nearby Munic. Both are wheatbeers, typical for the rfegion where I live in South-Bavaria

That are two brands of German (Bavarian) beer ... Don't forget Olaf is Bavarian ... they like the stuff

Thanks Olaf and Dr Braem.

Would love to taste them now in the heat wave we're having. :drool::drool::drool:

The more 'peloric-looking one' resembles a sarracenia flower...

 

[SlipperFan]

Must be a lindenii hybrid! :wink:

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Looks very much like a phrag I posted on Rob Z.'s site a few years ago. I used to send him all my freak phrag pictures.

 

[Jorch]

I love the second flower! The shape is so symmetrical and the color is great

 

[Erythrone]

Yay besseae hyb...!

Magnifique!!!

A cross between a starfish and a Phrag besseae? Yay!!!!! Starfish hybrid!

 

[W. Beetus]

It actually is a bit attractive without the pouch!

 

[Pete]

ive had erdinger before! good stuff! that second pouchless flower with the unfused synsepal is crazy looking
