My version.

 

[mrhappyrotter]

I love it. I want one!

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae hybrids! Was that a compot or a multigrowth plant?

 

[eteson]

love this cross! Nice plant!

 

[abax]

This one is quite nice and I've seen some really ugly ones.
The color is just right.
*keep me in mind if you ever decide to divide that lovely.

 

[Kawarthapine]

That is a very nice example of how dark the flowers can get.

My plants are quite a bit lighter.

Can you share the names of plant parents?

 

[JeanLux]

[eaborne]

Multigrowth Eric and this plant wasn't always so healthy. It must be from the time of the original cross, late 90's I think-Orchid Zone when Terry was still active.
This plant was passed around between my friend Jay and I trying to grow the thing. It was established besseae couldn't be grown in Houston nor any of its primary hybrids. Not until I put it in S/H did it take off.
I'll have to check on the cross.

Lovely!

Really, really nice I have one in bloom right now but it put out a ridiculously long inflorescence so it has sit in window rather than under lights as it's too tall now.

Another beautiful Phrag.

Great main photo too..!

gorgeous. Living just a few hours away from Houston, I'm sure glad that we can grow besseae and its hybrids in the South....some of my favorite slippers.

Your name is on a tag, in the pot.

This is an old Orchid Zone cross as mentioned, the parents are; sarg 'Red Airow(?)' X besseae 'Eat My Dust' I can't really read the sarg clonal name very well but maybe John C, if he see this post can look into the records for you. The cross number is Z3585

 

[Phrag-Plus]

A great one!
