Lovely flower! I prefer the white background as the black one washes out the white in the petals a bit. :)
 
Finally, some more breeding for whitish phrags. I know that it is hard to achieve, but I like them alot. What is the cross by the way? I wish someone would continue with this breeding and use more of the saint queen flavum that were whitish. Nice flower.
 
Nice clone Chuck. Cheyenne this is a really old cross, made in 1891 but rarely seen these days. Whether this cross has been used in further breeding would be a good question. Earl from OrchidBabies wanted to try white Phrag breeding. Haven't heard whether he ever got anywhere with it.
 
Fabulous!

My Phrag Sara Beth (Magdalene Rose x schlimii) is like this. A very pretty white with a hint of color on the lip. Love these whites
 
Oh wow what a beautiful Phrag! I too am surprised this one isn't seen more often.
Your photographs are beautiful :)

This clone of Cleola starts out fairly pink and gradually fades to near white as it ages. This flower is over a week old so it will get a little whiter before it drops but it always retains some pink in the pouch and edges of the petals.
 
Look at those roots!

It's not the black background that washes out the whites, it is that the photo is overexposed. The one on the white background is spot on.

It's a beautiful flower -- i'm definitely in love with white and pale pink Phrags.
