Phragmipedium besseae 'Wössen" 2008

[peter.orchid]

An extraordinary clone of Phragmipedium besseae came in flower this year in the nursery of my friend Franz Glanz in Unterwössen.
I have made the pictures some days after his return from a big flower-show. So the gigantic plant lost many of the flowers.

It is really one plant.

Hallo Olaf,
I have seen the large pot of the Phrag. besseae in the orchid farm of Franz
Glanz. I have bought a little plant of Phrag. besseae, it has bloomed two
times, but after repotting it recovers slowly.
Many regards
Peter

Then good luck for the future.
It will need near 20 year to be so a big plant

Best greetings

That's a stunning specimen! I wish I could keep one alive here. Much less have something that big.

Impressive displays. Must have been very good clones to start with, along with great growing talent and conditions. Extraordinary! Thanks for posting them Olaf.

The secret is keeping the stolons in moss.

Look carefully at the bottom of the first photo. The moss is green, it's been there a while.
