Phrag. fischeri 'Pink Sorbet'

[Drorchid]

A Phrag. species, you still don't see too often: Phrag. fischeri. This is a a selfing of the original clone that was used to describe Phrag. fischeri. I looked it up, and the seedpod was made back in February of 1997! so I am guessing this plant is at least 11 to 12 years old.

[SlipperFan]

It's a beauty, and a great, well-grown plant. I find it very difficult to grow.

Sorry, in my book fischeri is the best phrag species ever. Even considering Pk. Am I nuts? Probably. I just like Pf. It's cute, fuzzy, fun, compact plant...

Sorry Olaf, I already crippled the flower, as I sibbed it onto another fischeri. Next time it blooms I will take some more pics.

Speaking of PK, has it been crossed with fischeri? I'm curious what the flowers would look like; unfortunately it would negate one of PK's two biggest assets: flower size (the other being color).

Don't have a picture of it, but yes it has been done. It basically looks like a darker Phrag. Eumelia Arias (schlimii x kovachii), with perhaps some better shape to it; thus far of all the kovachii hybrids, Eumelia Arias has the most purple flowres, unfortunately it also has the smallest flowers, but what is nice, is that it has a nice compact plant habit.
