Phrag. besseae

[Cheyenne]

This besseae is an Orchid Zone cross 'Big Boy x. Colossal'. It is pretty big, not the biggeat but it is 9cm NS. I think it is pretty flat too. It makes for a nice display. I can't wait till the line breeding on the flavums comes around and we see flavums like this. I know they are probably out there but not often seen or available. Besseae is one of my favorite phrag species and I am always happy to see one of my plants bloom.

Yay besseae1 Where/ when did you get it? Chuck Acker may still have a besseae flavum stud plant available. New German breeding.

That is quite good, and 9 cm is right up there for size. Definitely a keeper.

Nice. Isn't this the same cross offered on ebay in recent weeks?

Dean, from paphiness was offering this and some other crosses on ebay these last weeks. This is not one of those. I got this one a few years ago from Glen Decker. Luckily it has not been a climber, yet. I just bought another of this cross from the Fischers last week and they have all been very uniform. Each time it blooms it gets bigger.

A remarkable clone in my opinion. Besseae has come such a long way

That's a beautiful flower.

I have a 'smokin' X 'Haven' cross I picked up from Sam a couple years ago.

Set up in a moss basket its down well and not climbing either.

I think its just starting a spike from the largest growth.

On the whole not a great lover of this specie, but this one looks quite nice.
