Phragmipedium Barbara Le Ann

[Phrag-Plus]

No sun by those days in the greenhouse, but I took a picture still because I want to put kovachii on it and use its pollen... As you can see the flash from the camera was used but the colour are still very interesting…

Great color and nice full shape. Do you think crossing it with kovachii will make any improvements other than in size?

Yay besseae hybrids! I think the cross has been made before.

Yes! My first goal is to improve the colouration and rounder form...

Yes the cross name is Graem Jones, but I would like to remake it with this particuliar clone and some older crosses too...

Wow, I have never seen a Barbara LeAnn that dark red in color! Was a 4N besseae used to make it?

[TrueNorth]

That will be great. I'll buy some of those. Where is the pollen headed?

The besseae parent, was the roundest sibling I kept from 'Mucho Rojo' x 'Clements'

Very intensely red one there.

 

[tomkalina]

The best I've seen of this hybrid. You could also try (x Fritz Schomburg).....

Love the true deep crimson color. Rounder? Why?

I’m exploring different fields and possibilities in my breeding program; I’m working on different line of breeding, colours, forms, flowers count, long lasting flowers, etc… And this one is on the roundness and deep red line. Just for that!

That sounds like a very ambitious breeding program for
a creative person. Everything I've seen on this forum has
been really lovely and has interesting variations. I look
forward to all your posts. I really do love that deep crimson color with not a hint of orange...wonderful!

That one is pretty spectacular as others have stated!

JP has a breeding program with fischeri that exceeds Chuck Acker's. He also has a very big besseae flavum breeding program. The main issue is that there is very limited access outside of Canada.

Where there's a will there's a way. Flasks out of Canada
maybe????
