Phrag Tupac Amaru

[mccallen]

I haven't seen my pictures online, it's Peruflora's Cirila Alca x kovachii
So 75% kovachii, 25% dalessandroi

this is when it was first opening, next to a couple other kovachii hybrids.
This one has some nice kovachii traits, but also some unfortunate ones: the petals reflex and lighten in color as the flower ages

This one came from Peruflora I believe, I got it at the Pacific Orchid Expo in San Francisco, maybe around 2015 or so.

It's very pretty and it looks quite large.

Yes, it's good size and the inflorescence is really tall as well.
I have another smaller plant of this grex but that one is not as happy and hasn't bloomed yet :/

Beautiful flowers and a little bit of wonk on the lower edge of the petals is
not uncommon. I love the flower on the far right...lovely color.

QF Pink Frill is the other (Eric Young 4N x Eumelia Arias)

Just curious, how are you getting QF plants?

One by one when I can find them, I’ve gotten some at shows and some from Seattle Orchid that was selling them for a while

Stunning all three, love the depth of colour to them

Me so jealous!

Me so jealous!

I want more, but they're hard to get, unless you make an order of 30+ and...my growing space does not permit that at the moment
