Phrag. Peter Croezen

[SlipperFan]

Just as this flower was opening last Thursday, April 30, Peter Croezen the person, died. I waited until the flower was open before posting it and the accompanying news.

Peter was one of many friends I met through Slippertalk. He responded to a question I had about Phrag. kovachii, and we've communicated ever since. I met Peter in person once when he came to our society to talk about the circumstances surrounding of the discovery of Phrag. kovachii. We "talked" through email ever since, sharing internet gems and orchid stories. I'll miss him.

Phrag. Peter Croezen is pearcei x kovachii, and was created and named by his friend Alfredo Manrique of Peru.
