Phrag. Lemoinierianum

[SlipperFan]

Calurum x Sedenii

I got this as a multi-growth plant that hadn't yet bloomed, so I'm very pleased that it finally sent out a spike. Hopefully, the next flower won't have a flawed pouch.

Right down the middle of both parents! Nice cross!

Registered in 1888! WOW!

One could guess it's an old cross but I would have never guessed that old! Now it makes me wonder how they came up with the name, did Lemoinier make the cross?

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice and interesting cross!

 

[Shiva]

Lovely! It reminds me of Calurum.

OMG...be still my beating heart! That is just the kind of bloom that makes me want to grow orchids!!

Update: better bloom, though the photo is a little dark:

 

[SlipperKing]

yep! better all over.

Not just the pouch has improved. That bloom is much more impressive than the first! I hope this one keeps blooming and blooming for you -its lovely!

I have a division of this cross that I got from a friend. I have never been able to bloom it yet it the plant multiplies very well. Are there some special nutritional requirements that this phrag needs to bloom?

Yours is very beautiful.

Did the tag suggest that one of the parents was ploypolid? The rim of the pouch looks a bit "toothed" wich happens in tiploids and tetraploids and would account for the exta tissue on the pouch.

Fabulous!

 

[W. Beetus]

Nice plant! I like the pink color.

 

[FlowerFaerie]

WOW! That's stunning.

Thanks, Brenda. I treat it like my other Phrags, but I did notice that the plant came to me with many growths, and hadn't bloomed before. Maybe it just needs to have a lot of growths.

Unfortunately, there was nothing on the tag but the name and the cross.
