Phrag. Louis Gaucher

[Shiva]

Phrag. Louis Gaucher is sargentianum x lindenii. The cross originator is J.P. Faust. I was expecting longer petals by I suppose sargentianum was more predominant on that cultivar. Still a beautiful flower and a strong plant.

very interesting blooms, and really a lot of sarg. influence, and few from the lindenii side!!! Jean

 

[Drorchid]

Nice flowers! It would be interesting to see this backcrossed with lindenii, to see if flowers show up with 3 petals instead of a pouch!

Nice petals :drool:

 

[smartie2000]

that is quite lovely!

 

[SlipperFan]

That is so delicate!:smitten: Another one for my wish list!!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

that is quite lovely!

No kiddin'!

 

[Jorch]

quite interesting! I like Robert's idea I'd love to see a pinkish lindenii (or even besseae red or kovachii purple lindenii)!

 

[Kevin]

Very nice!

I thought that all hybrids with lindenii resulted a flower with a pouch. Are there currerntly any pouchless lindenii hybrids?

 

[John M]

Wow, this is very nice! Congratulations to Jean-Pierre and you!

Kevin, I think that all F1 lindenii generations have a pouch....at least, that's what I've heard....meaning that the third petal trait is recessive; but, an F2 generation involving siblings or backcrossing to lindenii could double up the recessive genes and produce a percentage with no pouch.

Very nice one Michel!

Very nice!

As John said, the hybrid from lindenii F1 as I know (from now) are all showing pouches. I did work a lot and made many crosses with lindenii waitinfg for the result now, but I don't know if somebody else had work on F2 and F3 from now???

Lovely, I like the soft coloration.

 

[phrag guy]

very nice,waiting for mine to flower

Thus far I know, no one has yet, so make lots of F2 crosses!

I don't know why, but I'm always surprised when there are hybrids that seem like something people would want to try, and they haven't been tried yet! Phrag. lindenii has been around a while, so it seems surprising that there hasn't been that much breeding with it yet to get the F2 and F3. Is this the start of the race now to see who will do it first?oke:

Thanks for the post!

 

[Clark]

Very attractive!

How long are the petals? I would expect about 15cm, maybe 18cm if both parents were similar to the longest petal awarded clones for their species.

It is lovely, and like others I would love to see the next step in breeding. Phrags rarely interest me much, this one does.

 

[Shiva]

Kirk, they are 14cm long.

 

[PaphMadMan]

Kirk, they are 14cm long.

First bloom seedling? They'll be longer on a large mature plant.
