We finally named a Phragmipedium hybrid after Jerry Fischer! It is a cross made by his son Jason, and is a second generation kovachii hybrid. Of the second generation crosses that we have made thus far, this is one that has kept the size from it's kovachii grandparent! The cross is Phrag. besseae 'Rob's Choice' AM/AOS x Incan Treasure (=longifolium x kovachii). The flower is 13 cm across and has petals that are 4.5 cm wide! It basically looks like a giant Don Wimber on steroids!







A comparison with a 4N Don Wimber (on the left) for color and size:

Robert, how many plants from that cross have bloomed yet? Is it the first one?

Yes, this is the first one that bloomed. Btw I just found out tht this plant got an AM/AOS at the Santa Barbara orchid show!
