Phrag. (Fritz Schomburg x fischeri)

Drorchid · Jul 16, 2013

Our first 2nd generation kovachii cross opened! I crossed Phrag. Fritz Schomburg (=besseae x kovachii) onto Phag. fischeri. My goal was to make a more compact plant, with relatively big flowers, that would still be "round" in shape. I think I succeeded! Of all the 1st and 2nd generation kovachii hybrids this is by far most the most compact one. The plant is about 5 cm tall and 20 cm wide. The flower stem is 23 cm tall. The flower itself is 7 by 6 cm, and the petals are almost 3 cm wide.

Very nice. The flower looks fairly large considering it's 1/2 fischeri. The petals are nice, full, round and flat. It seems like most of the less than ideal characteristics of kovachii have been overcome, now it's time to start working on intense coloration.
