Phrag. Desormes

[Drorchid]

I can't take credit for this cross, it was originally registered by the Eric Young Foundation, and is a cross between Sorcerers Apprentice and Hanne Popow. I think the color combination is interesting.

Yay besseae hybrids!

Agreed. The colour combo is attractive. I like this.

Beautiful Robert. One of my two Desormes has not flowered yet. Maybe I'll get lucky.

 

[biothanasis]

Lovely!

 

[SlipperKing]

Yup, interesting alright!

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

The colour IS great

 

[SlipperFan]

Do they all bloom two-colored? I like it a lot!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

That is pretty cool!

No they don't always bloom bi-colored, but this particular clone does, some are more pink in color, we even had one plant (I think it is dead now) that was almost entirely white.

Wahhhh! :sob:
I remember that bloom. What did you x it with?

 

[hardy]

Crazy colors, loving it :clap::clap:

 

[Bolero]

Obviously the shape needs improving but the colour is stunning, this is a great cross.

The word 'interesting' has been used three times and I think that sums it up.

I found an old picture of the "white" Desormes:

At the time I crossed it with our Phrag. Calurum var. grandiflora:

The resulting cross (which I named Phrag. Amazon Eagle):

Toothy.
BTW, instead of a photo of the Desormes I see a little box with a red X!
