Phrag Dale Drever

[Chuck]

This cross is named for a good friend who passed away recently. He was a good friend, a great teacher and a fine artist.

This is a first bloom seedling. It is Phrag. Taras X Phrag. schlimii. Phrag Taras is (Phrag. boissierianum X Phrag. pearcei var ecuadorense).

The spike has a couple of branches. I may post another picture later when it holds more blooms. One of the petals is a little twisted but I'm sure Dale won't mind ... he was a little twisted as well.

Sorry for your friend.

Wow! Stunning bloom. A great way to honor your friend.

Thanks you all for you kind comments.

Excellent. Are you going to be going to the Orchidphiles de Montreal show?

Eric, although I would love to, no I won't be there. I'm doing a bit of a tour of the west coast of BC shortly after that and can only afford a limited time away.

Jean, yes, electronic registration is great. It only take a day or two. And yes, not much schlimii influence in the shape but the pink is there.

Sorry, I don't have any left for sale. The guys at Paramount Orchids in Calgary might have a one.

How wide is the flower?

The overall width is about 3.5 inches and the height is just a little over 3 inches.

Beautiful bloom to name after your friend! I love the light colors. I was able to pick a plant.

You should come to Winnipeg sometime, Chuck!

I'll have to check with Paramount, then,

Great flower - I love the pastels.
