Phrag. vittatum 'Birchwood' (x self)

[Phrag-Plus]

J-P, Hoping to do a sib cross. Not too interested in hybridizing with this species except possibly to remake Phrag. Vittabess.

Hi Tom,
That will be nice to sib it for sure, I self mine last year seedlings are doing very well I should get them out of flask soon. I made some Vitta-Bess using besseae flavum and those are already in compots.

You are ahead of me, J-P! I just remade Vitta-Bess with the normal color form of besseae last week and selfed the second vittatum clone because it has better pouch color than the first one (see photo).

What about x besseae flavum? I would love a Vittabess.

Eric,

I used Phrag.besseae 'Carlisle' to remake Vita-Bess in an attempt to intensify the pouch/petal color of vittatum. Not sure the flavum form would do this as well.

It would be good to have both.

Very nice and interesting colouration! I love it!

Can’t wait to see a Vitta-Bess made with a red besseae, the one we seen are looking more like a cross made with Platipetalum than vittatum. I did attempt to remake that cross using my best besseae too but it dind’t take… Only the yellow did worked out, I'm expecting subtle colouration and patterns from bronze to orange…
