Phrag Andean Fire X kovachii

[Chuck]

The bloom is about 5.25 inches wide. I like the color. The form is far from perfect. I did not attempt a cross with the pollen.

 

[Shiva]

A lot of potential there. This said, I love it anyway.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Now that is unusual to be sure! Those petals are like no Phrag I've seen. Nice color as well.

 

[toddybear]

Very nice!

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae hybrids!

 

[phrag guy]

I like it and ther is potential

 

[SlipperFan]

Love the color!

 

[Jorch]

Looks like besseae color genes win this time! I like the twisty petals, quite special!

 

[JeanLux]

I like the color too!!! Could you show a pic of the plant for size? Jean

 

[Chuck]

Jean, here is a photo of the plant. It is potted in a one liter (a quart) transparent deli container. The second photo is a sibling that bloomed last year.

Right now I like the sib better but we need to remember most phrags are not really mature until their 3rd blooming (I think that's what Glen said), so there's room & time for improvement. This one I'd hold on to, as for the Mag Rose X, I'm afraid it would be out my door.

 

[wojtek]

Yes ! pic of the plant is much better, the color is more intense !

The last picture shows really the better clone, also when I hoped that the result of this cross will have a better more intesive color.

Best greetings

Thanks, that's a nice strong plant and the color of the bloom is really good!!!
That last year's bloom has a Fine shape !!!

Well, despite the nasty comments from others, I see nothing in either to excite me at all. Maybe the color in the first one stands up ok.

 

[NYEric]

Um, it's a 5-1/2" besseae hyrid!! oke:

 

[Roy]

In some cases, size isn't everything............

 

[NYEric]

True, but I like the colors, and the form is OK, in spite of the wavy arms!
