Looking for Phrag flasks with kovachii as the pod parent

[limuhead]

Hi everyone,

I was looking for some Phrag flasks or seedlings with kovachii as the pod parent. I have some but was interested in getting more for hybridizing. I am in the process of getting some straight kovachii's to do my own crosses but in the mean time would like to see what else is out there...
Thanks, Fred

Did you find something? I know only the Alfredo Manrique source but it is always limited.

Besides Chuck Acker, Orchids Limited, and Alfredo I dont know. Maybe Destino Nuevo? I think Glen gets his plants from Quintal. EYOF if you have the photos of Chris w/ the sheep! :evil:

Phragmipedium
Acker’s Superstar ‘MVP’ AM/AOS [4N] x kovachii
EXCLUSIVE OFFERING: Without doubt, this cross will yield compact plants producing those huge flowers of kovachii fame in solid deep reds. A limited number of these flasks are available

Yes, that one looks very promising. I think I reserved that one, as well as a few more with kovachii from Chuck, but I am actively seeking a kovachii cross where the kovachii was the one holding the pod. I picked up a plant for breeding, well actually several but I m interested in flasks...

Glen does get some from Kai. I am on my way back to Oahu tomorrow with a few nice things from him and a wish list a mile long(seedlings that are not yet released/just planted out). Kai's breeding is impressive. I see him blooming out his own crosses he made years back and see others selling flasks that are the same crosses. I need to check around and get some blooming sized kovachii's. Make my own seed and see what happens...

If you can't get them in Hawaii, Peruflora is bringing BS Pk to the San Francisco show 3rd week in Feb.
