Phrag. Robert-Jan Quené flavum (= Fritz Schomburg flavum x besseae flavum)

[Drorchid]

This is a different cross of Phrag. Robert-Jan Quené. In this case I backcrossed Fritz Schomburg 'Pink Perfection' which was made with besseae flavum, back onto a besseae flavum. To my surprise the hybrid was all yellow! Interestingly hardly any of the kovachii genes came through in the album form of this cross, except for the pouch being somewhat more "Puffy", and the flower slightly larger than a regular besseae flavum. Also the color is less "Yellow", and more "white-yellow" compared to a besseae flavum. I am guessing if I would sib two of these together, we can get some "All Whites" juse like when you sib two Hanne Popow flavum's together.

Do they have socialized medicine in Luxembourg? Don't want to take money away from the Orchids while we get you some mental health care. oke: Regular red besseae hybrids are good, but flavums and other colors are extra special!

 

[Missgreen]

I love the yellow.. *Sigh* another one for the list...

I am with you, Jean!

 

[NYEric]

See! I know you have socialized mental health care already! :evil: Bloom against bloom you may be right but think about the potential for yellow/white besseae type blooms!!!
