Phrag. Red Wing

[Erythrone]

Phragmipedium Red Wing is Robert C. Silich x besseae. First blooming seedling I bought from OL in spring 2013. Too bad for the horns..
But the color is incredible!

Ouch. Good color. I think the besseae hybrids at that level are genetically fragile and that may be a trait.

Especially prone if there's a polyploid parent in the background.......

Such rich color. I like it...horns and all.

The besseae that was used was a 4N. We haven't had any that had those "horns" hopefully yours will outgrow them...But great color and nice wide petals!
