Phragmipedium Acker's Ruby

[Djthomp28]

Acker's Ruby is Fall River x kovachii. Acker's Ruby is Chuck Acker's breeding. I am quite pleased with this result.


Here is the whole plant for those who would like to see it. It is still in a 2.25" seedling pot.


My phrags have received a bit of neglect over the last few years. Hopefully I am getting back on track with them.

Definitely like them. And since im
Lazy, would u mind posting Chuck’s cross number? I want to see how many I have left from the flask and see how they are doing comparatively. ( ya. I just write his cross numbers on the tags. I’m just growing lettuce at this point)
