Phrag. Inca Ruby

Here's one you don't see too often. In fact I was not able to find any pictures of it online except one. It is besseae 'Fox Valley' Am/Aos x Rosalie Dixler 'Fox Valley' Am/Aos. Its genetic makeup is very similar to Jason Fischer and I think they have a strong resemblance.

I got it from Fox Valley at Chicagoland 2009. This is the second flower on the first spike it has produced. I really, really like it.

Great job Robert. When it bloomed, I looked up who registered it and saw it was you.

Nice!!

But I still like FV Fireball better.

 

[NYEric]

It is a much smaller plant.

Nice!!

But I still like FV Fireball better.

I think I do too but this one is pretty stately in person. The little Fireball that I had bloom last winter with three open on its first ever spike is one of my favorite plants of all time and one of my fondest orchid growing memories.

Here's another one, a baby Fireball trying to open three flowers on its first blooming in a driving snowstorm

I have the Inca Fire upstairs in the living room. I really like the look of it. I keep asking my wife "do you like it better than the FV Fireball from last winter?" and she keeps saying "No!".
