Phrag. besseae var. flavum

[Shiva]

:rollhappy: Another beauty I got from Jean-Pierre

Phrag. besseae var. flavum (Yellow Gold x Yellow Bird)
It's 6 cm wide as of this morning and very flat, firm and velvety in texture, and yellow through and through. It's probably got more widening to do but I can't be certain there will be enough light tomorrow for a picture.

A first flowering too for this plant.

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae! Can you show the whole plant please, for size reference.

 

[Shiva]

I will Eric, tomorrow if there's enough sunlight into the greenhouse. But it's not a big plant.

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice yellow one!

 

[Hera]

Very nice! With all the hybridizing to improve the reds of besseae, I'm surprised we haven't seen more to improve yellows. Like there has been done with phals to get a good chrome yellow that dosen't fade. I'd like to see it.

 

[biothanasis]

wonderful!!!!!

 

[SlipperKing]

SUPER YELLOW!!!!! YEA

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow -- I think that's the best-shaped yellow besseae I've ever seen!

If the plant is small be carefull to not-stress it.

Gorgeous, it really is stunning.

I'm not sure. I have three phal species behind that could be in the picture: schilleriana, sturartiana and sanderiana.The first two are in buds. Like everything else in the greenhouse they are grown rather cool, that is about 12C at night.
