Here's an Inca Ruby. Inca Ruby is Rosalie Dixler x besseae, very similar to Jason Fischer. I got from Fox Valley at the Chicagoland festival in 2009. It doesn't bloom very frequently but I like it when it decides to ;)

Very nice shape & color!!! How often do you fertilize? At what amount?

Thanks! I fertilize every time I water with MSU-type fertilizer from First Rays. I only use about 1/4 the amount recommended on the package.
 
That's a beauty; nice form and deep color. Will you get it judged?

Yes, I plan to Tom. For some reason this flower is on a very short spike. I hope to get the next blooming judged though. Of course, it goes without saying, but great job on this one and all the other great plants you've produced at Fox Valley.
 
For those that might be interested in one of the breeding directions taken by us with this grex, we have three seedlings of Phrag. (Inca Ruby x Barbara Le Ann) still available on the website.
