Phrag Schroederae

[Achamore]

Another of the really old crosses, in this case caudatum x Sedenii. Registered by Veitch in 1882. I don't think I've ever had this fellow in bloom before, and I can't recall who I bought it or where or when... The tag gives me no clue. But glad to 'meet' this fellow!

Nice. An under-utilized parent I think.

I wonder how this would cross with kovachii..?

Lovely, I love the dark pink color!!

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice one.

I adore the color and the contrasting pouch with freckles is
such a nice sight. Very graceful petals too.

Probably would look like a Suzanne Decker with dropping petals. I'd buy that

Do we know why?

Like it!

It happens frequently in crosses involving distant species, but the new polyploid (4N) crosses are going to make the things easier.

Even with breeding with the newer 4Ns you will still have issues in the offspring when breed with diploids and aneuploids.

Here it is today.

I'm liking it more and more.
