Phrag. besseae ('Hot Rod' x 'Fire Wings')

[Drorchid]

I thought I would show you guys some of our latest Phrag. besseae breeding results. This is a cross between one of our Phrag. besseae's which had very dark red flowers and good shape; Phrag. besseae 'Fire Wings', with one of the besseae's that came from Terry Root's breeding (I believe it was a 'Colossal' sib cross); we named it 'Hot Rod'. This particular clone had very wide petals.

Very nice and very interesting to see the parents too. (not really my taste, as I prefer the slim line, but a must-have fore those who prefer the rounded forms)
Best regards, Gina
