Phrag. kovachii

[phraggy]

Took this pic at our local monthly show today and to me it is the best kovachii I have ever seen --- and I've seen a few!! The size is very good, I didn't measure the width but it would probably have been 6 or 7 inches. The texture of the leaves was unbelievable -- just like the finest velvet. I'm sure you will agree that the colour, especially the pouch, is remarkable. Thought I'd just post it for your perusal.

Wow! That is a spectacular clone! Thanks for posting. 'Got any more photos of it?

p.s. I've not seen a kovachii in person. When you say "leaves", do you mean petals?

Ed,

It's beautiful! Do you know where it was purchased from?

 

[Erythrone]

Great one!

 

[eaborne]

Fantastic!

 

[SlipperFan]

Who put that plastic fake in that display?!

Just kidding -- it really is perfect.

The color is magnificent, but that dorsal is still unbalanced and ugly.

Awesome!!

Those petals sure are trending towards perfect circles. Oz breeding?

Sorry about the mistake, I did mean petals,
No more pics I'm afraid but will try and get some next month----it only opened in the last two days.

I understand it came from Peruflora a couple of years ago.

Thanks, Ed. I envy you being able to see that in person!:drool:

That is really nice. Been wanting this species for a long time now.

 

[Lmpgs]

Spectacular!!

Hope to see more photos after it has been open a bit. :drool:

After seeing this I can't wait for my little seedling to grow up.

Looks a spectacular bloom Ed. I've only got one I've managed to keep alive. It has thrown a new growth which is growing fast but thinking it may be a few years away yet. Whats the leafspan of the plant?

Thanks for sharing. We tend to forget that the species is still recently discovered and has not been well line bred and grown yet!
