My division of this clone flowering again...

 

[PaphMadMan]

That's a very broad shouldered muscular phil. Bold color too. Thanks for posting.

 

[cattmad]

that is a beauty

Hmm might there be a batch of Bernice in the works? I usually don't like straight phils (I know...) but this one is exceptional. Very nice. Is the plant compact?

 

[SlipperFan]

It is nice. But what color is the pouch? The photos range from yellow to green.

sorry--i have to apologize for my terrible pictures (i mean it!). the pouch is actually yellow. there is some green in the flowers too.

lol no plans to breed with it for now... If i had more space i would love someday to make a bunch of Saint Swithins with it though!

Thanks, Justin. The photos aren't that bad -- lighting makes such a big difference in color rendition; I was a little confused.

I agree! Beautiful phillie

 

[Ozpaph]

I can see why that was awarded.

 

[SlipperKing]

It's suppose to be the highest awarded phillie out there. You have bloomed it with well balance from flower to flower Justin, no show.

 

[Stone]

It's a beautiful one. Congratulations.

[annab]

[Brabantia]

i'm not sure

A very nice P. philippinese! What are the plant sizes?

It's relatively compact for the species. The whole plant is maybe 18" or 20" across. It has about 8 growths in an 8" round pot. the petals are about 6" (15cm) NS.

 

[Secundino]

Wonderful - clear colours, clean markings, nice stance. Like it a lot!

 

[eggshells]

stunning!

 

[Spaph]

What a plant and no wonder the award : )

 

[Trithor]

Great philippinense! Ditto all the praise, richly deserved!
