Phrag. QF Tower 3 weeks in bloom

[Michael Bonda]

Nichole Tower x wallisii on the third week with the first bloom still on the inflorescence. I am afraid to move it for a better photo since the first bloom is likely to fall off. Another bud forming too!

hopefully these will branch more from the NT parent?

Gorgeous!

Thank you. I prefer pink over orange long petal caudatum/wallisii/grande crosses but beggars can’t be choosers. My pink similar (Schroederae, Frank Smith, Peruflora’s spirit x wallisii, QF Leina’ala) are not in spike.......yet......

I rather like the melon color. It's unusual and eye catching.

I'm not usually a fan of orange but I love that one.

it's very nice!!

I love that it's an orange tone instead of pink. I've tried numerous times to get an "orangie" long petaled type Phrag and always end up with pink toned flowers.

Third flower starting to open with the original first and second still on the inflorescence. I am very pleased despite not have much space between each flower.

I would gladly exchange my orange-salmon-melon long petal phrags for your pink long petal. My favorite phrag is Schroederae but it flowers so infrequently that I do not complain when I see orange in a hybrid.

Yay besseae hybrids! I am not really a fan of long petal besseae hybrids but, that is very nice. If anyone has a Maria Glanz flavum they want to get rid of.....?
