Phrag. besseae

[Felix]

I simply love Phrag. besseae. It's really an all-time favorite for me. First flower this year, another besseae and the forma flavum still need some time.





Additionally, here is a photo of another besseae from my favorite orchid breeder. It looked quite interesting to me.

That's about the reddest one I've seen!

The bottom one looks a little malformed.

Yay besseae!

I agree, my favorite too.

Nice colored besseae! The bottom one looks like Phrag. St. Ouen to me.

Is this greenhouse yours?

First besseae is lovely!!

 

[Felix]

Oh, I dream of such a greenhouse. Unfortunately, that's not mine but the greenhouse from the Lemförder Orchideenzucht where I took a photo of the second besseae.

That's exactly the besseae flower shape that I prefer. Very nice.

The first one is gorgeous!

The first one is so nice! The petals are huge!

 

[Felix]

Yeah, thank you. I'm also very happy about that red beauty, catching myself sneaking around the plant everyday.

I'm thinking about doing something with it, any ideas? Either to self-pollinate it or cross it, any guesses?

Another Phrag. besseae just opened it's first flower.
