Almost but not quite white. A little hooded, though.

Beautiful colouration. I love the variety in this cross.

 

[Hera]

Very sweet. The staminode is a nice counterpoint.

Such a cutie!
I have to go have a talk with mine .....
or may be just look closer ....
maybe with glasses on!

 

[biothanasis]

very very nice!!!!

 

[SlipperKing]

The shape on this cross is very tight. The color is the only variable I ever seen. True?

 

[goldenrose]

I'd agree with that Rick.

 

[NYEric]

No, the lateral petals have a lot of variety in their shape.

 

[SlipperFan]

I agree with Eric. All you have to do is google images of Phrag. Hanne Popow.

 

[eaborne]

Dainty!

Lovely bloom with delicate colors.
How did it get so pale, I thought everything with besseae would be orangey red?

Good question. Besides schlimii being xanthic, this may be made w/ besseae flavum but we don't know.

I'll have to check the tag tomorrow. I have two of these, and the one from OL is made with a besseae flavum.

 

[SlipperFan]

I checked this morning. This plant is from OL, so one parent indeed is besseae flavum.

 

[NYEric]

There you go.
