large seedling i got from Chuck Acker

 

[Rick]

Sweet!

How big is the plant?

 

[ehanes7612]

one growth 10 inches (25 cm)..healthy looking and has several more buds

I like the photos. It's a wonderful species, great color and I like the petal shape a lot. Yours seems to have fairly wide & full petals, which I'm guessing is a big plus for hybridization purposes.

I agree. The color and shape are superb.

 

[Erythrone]

Just wonderful!!!!!!!!

Yay besseae v. dalessandroi! Very nice form but no "flame".

 

[Erythrone]

Does the plant have a clone name?

 

[ehanes7612]

Didn't come with one

Just wait till you see what I am getting next week ... Poor Eric , you're gonna pissed

I think it's interesting to see how the petals 'hang' down like that. It is beautiful.

I told you, I'm just going to wait 6 months until you decide to grow teacup complex Paphs or something; then i'll get your whole Phrag collection! oke:

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice. Did it come with the spike already? I thought this species was a monster of a plant.

I think that the ones that Chuck has look like the dalessandroi coming out of ecuagernera in the past few years. I have talked to a lot of people about this including Pepe. Down there they believe that this colony that is left of "dalessandroi" is not what they call the "classc dalessandroi". It seems to be intermediate or more like there is dalessandroi genes in there somewhere. I have a few just like this, even though the growths are close together and sometimes the stem can have a branch or two. It is not like the true dalessandroi I have seen and have. On true dalessandroi as someone mentioned the plant is huge compared to besseae and so is the stem. If you see a well grown one the leaves can be 4 or more inches wide and a leaf span of probably twice the size of besseae. I would compare the plant to a nicely grown kovachii but with more horozontal leaves.

Very interesting!
True dalessandroi is quite hard to get... recently i got some plants labelled as dalessandroi that resulted to be something in between besseae and dalessandroi. The plants are quite big (leaves 2,5 inch wide) and the growths are close together but the floral stem do not always show branches.
Cheyenne, I would like to see a picture of your true dalessandroi.

I just spoke to Thanh, nice acquisition. Let me know when you want to get rid of those orange/pink besseaes, Thanks.

 

[ehanes7612]

checked my old emails, turns out this was sold to me as a seedling back in Feb...so maybe it will grow to be a monster
