Jason Fischer 4n update

[monocotman]

I’ve been waiting for this plant to open two flowers together and now there are three. The oldest is starting to look a bit the worse for wear with holes in the red but it will keep it for a few days yet. This is the only phrag I grow that keeps flowers like this. Most jettison them when they still look perfect.
It’s a slow grower but chunky. The spikes are quite stiff and generally do not need staking.

Excellent color. Beautiful plant and flowers.

Love it!!

 

[Michael Bonda]

Wow. Fantastic. Mine is in spike and waiting for first bud to open. Your 2 spikes on such a compact plant is awarding winning.

where is this from?

 

[Hien]

interesting color for a Jason Fischer . I thought they are more red than this .
Is the photo color true to the real color of the flowers in sunlight?

 

[monocotman]

Linus, it is from the Fischer’s. Besseae ‘robs choice’ 4n x MDC ‘rocket flash’ 4n.
Hien, the colour is quite accurate, the photos were taken outside in natural light,

Hmmmmm colchicine!!!
Yay besseae hybrids. Nice, thanks for sharing. I need you to send me a sample of your water so I can see if I can duplicate it.

Eric, it’s very very special water. It falls out of the sky on a regular basis here in the UK. I collect in rain tubs and use it on my plants much like many other orchid growers do. TDS is about 20-40 depending on the time of year. Not much else to add,

Love that color David. I prefer the softer rose red and this one is wonderful.

How does it compare to the Rocket Flash by Cow Hallon 2?

Beautiful, David! I killed two Jason Fischers before I figured out Phrags didn’t like the sumner temps in my grow room.

You should send a photo to Jerry. He likes to see his seedlings in bloom.

 

[monocotman]

I have, when it flowered for the first time last year!

I bet it doesn't get those ugly saw-teeth!

Can you send me a measured sample so I can evaluate the minerals in the solution?

Found it. My friend wants to sell me a piece.

 

[awesomei]

I would buy it!

 

[NYEric]

That's a good one. Lots of Cow's Hollow hybrids have saw teeth on the lateral sepals. In my opinion 4N Rob's Choice or Carlisle are better for shape and substance.

 

[monocotman]

Thanks Eric, I’ve had a few flowers from this clone, from two flowering’s, and so far, no saw teeth have been seen!
