Phrag Lutz Röllke

[Shiva]

Second flowering for my Lutz made with the red besseae form. Note the tessellation in the petals and especially the dorsal. I've never seen that kind of pattern before. Have you?

 

[John M]

That's very nice! The tesselation is probably always there; but, normally it's hidden by a richer, more saturated colour. However, Phrags with besseae in their background tend to have lighter colour saturation in the warm weather; so, now you're able to see the markings underneith that are normally hidden from view by the rich red colour we get in cooler weather bloomings.

I've seen subtle tessellation, but nothing as strong as this. John's explanation makes sense.

What a great flower!!!

 

[Shiva]

Whatever the case, I love it like it is.

Beautiful, I like the twists

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice! Tessellation is a common trait in boissierianum hybrids... It is the reason why I like them that much!
