Purchased a flask of these several years ago from Chuck Acker. I have bloomed several and all have this white halo in the center of the flower. Some have unattractive distended pouches. So far, there have been no keepers, but I have a few that have not yet bloomed. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

That halo is sure interesting. Pretty good shape though!

Yay besseae hybrids!
When you get rid of them offer on STF first!

Yes, I posted that a couple of years ago.

I noticed the halo as well, although it's a great blooming, could that be from high temps?Will 80° days 66° nights cause bessae color to fade?

Lovely color.

I don't think high temperature is the problem, as my greenhouse is best described as cool with night time lows of 60-61 degrees. Also, I have several Fritz Schomburgs flowering nearby without problem. I have seen this halo in every plant I've bloomed from this flask.

I don't think the halo is unattractive at all. I agree with
Eric...if you want to sell some of the plants, let us know
first. I'd certainly want to bid on a couple when the spring
auction begins.

I think you're plants are great!!!! I'm worried about mine, I've got 2 bessae hybrids blooming

Thanks for sharing your observations of this cross. Hopefully you will have a good one from what hasn't bloomed!
