Phrag. Papa Frankie Quintal is the first kovachii hybrid backcrossed to kovachii. It was originally registered by Quintal Farms. This plant came from Glen Decker. On a different post people were commenting that they were disappointed with all the kovachii hybrids that were out there. I disagree, this is one that proves that there are some interesting possibilities with using kovachii as a parent! I think the best hybrids will be the backcrosses to either kovachii or to the other parents (like Phrag. Robert-Jan Quene = Phrag. Fritz Schomburg x besseae). The same thing happened with besseae crosses. To date the best besseae crosses are 2nd generation crosses (think of Phrag. Jason Fischer, and Phrag. Don Wimber).
Picture showing the pouch in more detail, notice the heavy kovachii influence.
plant:
Flower next to a kovachii flower. Still not as big as a pure kovachii, but remember this is a first bloom seedling, so the flower will get larger as the plant matures.
