Very, Very nice! :clap::clap: This isn't a 'wild' besseae, is it? Which clone, or which cross is it? Love the size and the colour! :drool::drool:

Oh wow! That is some of the nicest color in a besseae I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing!

Great shape. Not just the petals, but also the pouch.

Thanks everybody. I like it too! No, this is definitely not a "wild type" of besseae. Although, originating at The Orchid Zone, I don't know the clonal names of the parents.

I thought Orchid Zone plants always list the parents on the tag.

"I thought Orchid Zone plants always list the parents on the tag."

That may be so; but, when OZ plants are sold and resold, they can end up with new tags. Parentage is only important to "orchid breeders"; but, my intension is to sell these to high-end florists in the greater Toronto area. My plants came in without tags at all. Since I had only ordered those plants, there was no question as to what they were. I have a number of suppliers who send plants without labels because they know that I know what the plants are. I guess they figure that I can go to the expense and bother of making my own tags. When I order Vandas as "mixed", they all come in with labels attached. However, when I order 500 Vanda Sansai Blue, not one plant will have a label; but, that's okay, I know what I ordered.

That's an excellent Phrag. bessae in colouration as well as in flower shape.
