Phrag. Bouley Bay

[Hamlet]

Phrag. Bouley Bay is (Eric Young x Grande), so it's 50% longifolium, 25% besseae, 25% caudatum. It is not as brown as I thought it would be. Besseae adds a nice bit of colour to this hybrid.

I bought this as a one-growth division of an EYOF plant in august. Since then it has grown a new leaf, started a new growth and produced a flower spike plus flower! This is something I can only dream of with Paphs. Oh, and it has no horns!

Thanks for looking!

Yay besseae hybrids. These are not very common.

Pretty!

With this type of breeding I have not seen any with horns yet.

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice! I didn't realize this hybrid was so red.

Second flower is open, the first has been open for almost 4 weeks! Not bad for a Phrag. I love this plant, it has only one growth now, maybe it can hold more flowers when it gets bigger.

BTW, that's a small plant.
