Phrag. Perusian Sunrise (Fritz Schomburg x St. Ouen)

[e-spice]

Second blooming of this plant with a slight improvement from the first blooming. I got the plant from H. P. Norton at Orchidview.

A beauty.

Interesting to see the strenght of kovachii in this second generation hybrid. Not much influence I can see from St Ouen. Nice anyway.

Nice color.

I still still kovachii influence in the shape.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I see a lot of kovachii influence as well and am surprised because there's only 25% in the background. I thought it would be smaller than it is and with better form. The best thing I could think of is a larger, rounder version of St. Ouen.

In my humble opinion, the best kovachii hybrids so far have been some of the best Fritz Schomburgs (x besseae) like here:

Those are a couple I got from H. P. Norton at Orchidview. Not sure what the exact parents he used for that cross but the only two I have were, in my opinion, exceptional.

I do have to agree, the Fritz Schombergs have been the best. I can't wait to see the Fritz x besseae that Orchids Limited is doing.

Nice plant. if I dont have one hopefully I cna get from them at the Paph forum. I think Don Wimber x Pk will be the Killer!!!

 

[SlipperFan]

Great color.

 

[Carkin]

I have to chime in with those that remarked on the colour...it is beautiful and vibrant!!!

Anyone else notice the name 'Perusian'? It's not a word. I think H.P. meant, 'Peruvian' when he registered this?

I have a little bit of back story on that. As I remember it, Orchidview attempted to register it as "Peruvian", but someone at RHS said it it was misspelled and should be "Perusian" and registered it with that name. Once it was determined to misspelled Orchidview asked the RHS to correct it and they said it was too late because it was already registered!

Ah ha! Odd that they wouldn't change it though...

Interesting naming story. Reminds me of "Richard Parker" in Life of Pi.

 

[NYEric]

Odd that some half-wit at the RHS thought it should be Perusian!

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice flower!

When a cross is accepted and registered (the way they understand our writing), the RHS always send us a confirmation form and clearely ask us to look at the spelling and if it is right or not and/or if we want to change something.

If we don't answer (I never asked what is the delay...) they consider that as an acceptation... And after that, it is much more difficult to change something... And we can register (almost) any kind of creative words if we want...
