Phrag Fritz Schomburg

[dmcmkl]

Phrag Fritz Schomburg (3N) (kovachii 'Tesoro Morado' x besseae 'Rob's Choice' AM/AOS (4N)) purchased from Orchids Ltd a few years ago. Petal spread is 10.5 cm.




An interesting side note. I also have one of the parents, the Phrag kovachii 'Tesoro Morado', which after I think 4 or 5 years of patient culture is in spike! Tough one to grow, thought more then a few times that I had lost it. The spike is extending so slowly!. I'll post pictures if I can get it to open. Fingers crossed!

I always felt that this was one of the best crosses.

It was a very consistent cross. This one is typical of the seedlings.

 

[terryros]

Yep, just like my plant from the cross.
