Phrag besseae flavum

[dmcmkl]

I purchased this beauty from Woodstream Orchids in October of 2023 as a NBS seedling. Not sure about the parents. Bill only said that Broadwaters is one of them. Given how finicky these can be I was quite surprised when I went looking for when I purchased it at how fast it grew to blooming size. There are three growths, one old and two that have spiked and are now blooming. I can tell you I have killed more than my fair share of these. Hoping I can keep this one going for a long time to come.

A very nice clone IMO!

Wow that is sooo pretty. Nice pictures. What makes these challenging? Just besseae being a bit more finicky?

I've found them easier to grow than the red ones... But that might just be the clones I have. For me besseae grows much better under lights, probably because they don't get as hot in the summer.
