Guess the primary?

[Drorchid]

A new Phragmipedium primary that I made a few years ago has bloomed that had not yet been registered (I did register it two weeks ago).

Can you guess the parents?

sargentianum x pearcei? Edit: No, that's not right. How about lindleyanum x caricinum?

The colour is spectacular!

Thanks! You have one parent correct.

Okay. Hmmmm? I was editing my guess as you were posting your reply; but, I presume that the one correct parent is sargentianum (lindleyanum v. sargentianum). The other one has me stumped.

 

[John M]

sargentianum x tetzlaffianum?

 

[Drorchid]

John, Actually you mentioned both parents in your first post, so they are?

I agree with John's post sargentianum x caricinum

rich colour!

sargentianum x caricinum?

:clap::clap: Yes both you and Fren are correct.

For all you "Buffy" fans out there; I named this new primary: Phrag. Vampire Slayer.

Wonderful colour!

 

[phrag guy]

very nice cross

 

[SlipperFan]

Vampire Slayer, eh? Well, it is blood-red!

I'd have guessed sargentianum, but not caricinum.

 

[ohio-guy]

I like the name! Are you going to cross it to anything? And if so, what would you expect? ( ie if you cross it to a besseae or a JF, would the red dilute or intensify?)

 

[rdlsreno]

Excellent!

Very nice Robert for a "green" Phrag! LOL

You're not alone Dot!

Yes, the two crosses that I would make with this guy, is onto besseae and onto Phrag. popowii (warszewiczii) I think this hybrid will intensify the colors on both those species.

What about onto vittatum? I bought one of these when Jason was up here last. I was worried that it would grow into a huge thing, but seeing the flower, I'm very impressed. And I remember the price being very reasonable.

That would be a good cross too! Unfortunately we don't have any blooming sized vittatum's at the moment.
