Phrag. besseae from Windy Hill

[Heather]

Here’s my cute little bess. Not the greatest form but I like the color. No parents known by Marilyn. I’m itching to repot it and see how the roots are. Came in very low spike a few months ago. The blooming growth (has another older bloomed growth that has larger leaves) is only 8” leafspan, very small. I’m thinking about maybe trying it in a terrarium someday if it stays smallish. Still working on getting decent photos.

I bought two bessea from Windy Hill. One is fabulous, the other was donated to an auction (don't have a lot of room). She has great plants.

Lovely brilliant color. The shape and color may changes with the season (cooler = deeper color) and maturity. I find that even divisions need time to settle before they perform at their best.

Yay besseae! Be ready to deal with stolonous growth.
