Its very impressive! Light pink phrags make such impressive groupings.

Great show, but that ain't pink, is it?

 

[Shiva]

Nice flowers and plants.

 

[Bolero]

Very nice display, thanks for sharing.

 

[toddybear]

Wow!

 

[Hera]

What a cutie! Nice color.

 

[NYEric]

Nice, but are you sure? Looks like a besseae hybrid.

It's gorgeous and well grown and bloomed! Congrats! But, it looks more like Phragmipedium Katahdin Sunset (ecuadorense x Hanne Popow). It looks like it's got besseae influence in there somewhere.

Thanks. Not sure what to think now. This sure isn't what I'd expect at all and it does not look anything like Carol Kanzer, which it should, IMHO. I'd love to see the actual schlimii clone used as it's parent. I'm still not convinced that the "schlimii" was not a Hanne Popow. That would account for the (schlimii-like), yellow staminode AND the besseae-like orange tone. My monitor renders colours very well; so, I'm not thinking that I'm seeing orange on a pink flower.

It's an awesome flower and a superbly grown and bloomed plant. Congrats on your culture!

The flowers do look more pink to me in this photo. Beautiful, well grown & flowered plant.

When I look at the other schlimii primary crosses I think less and less that it's another primary cross. (Yay besseae hybrids!)

 

[hardy]

May I ask is it pure pink or peachy pink? Such a gorgeous flower, if only there are any for sale here

 

[NYEric]

Check Woodstream Orchids.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice robust plant!
