Phragmipedium Hanne Popow

[Djthomp28]

This Hanne Popow was made with besseae flavum, which gives it a lighter pink color.

I am happy to have been able to take these from flask to bloom. They certainly took their time with over 2.5 years to mature. I will post a few of the others as the buds open.

Very nice; love the subtle color.

Yay ________ hybrids! Branching like that I don't think the label is accurate. Should be nicely fragrant. What was the source?

 

[Djthomp28]

These are from Chuck Acker. I am confident in the identification for the flask.

Gorgeous, Darlene!! You have the touch, for sure!!!

Very nice! I love the pastel colors. Here is one of mine. But, is using the standard red besseae.

It’s gorgeous in the photo, too. Any of these for sale, I’d be interested in one like this.

I'm a fan of Hanne Popow !!!!! I haven't got one yet though.

They tend to be climbers!

Thanks all!

I am not sure how many I have left. If I have extras, I will keep you in mind.

These have not started climbing... yet

A closely related primary hybrid, Phrag. Manzur la Aldea, is also very nice. I might even like it better as the ones I have bloomed out generally seem to have fuller petals and a rounder overall presentation. Chuck Acker had flasks of these a couple years ago, so I suspect that many on this site have them.

Thanks KL! I just took a look online some photos a moment ago --- of that one you mentioned ...... they are beautiful indeed. I love the pinks. Definitely one to look out for too here. I'll note down this one! I'm currently growing a Grouville - hasn't yet flowered though, but it will ---- one of these days hehehe. I saw one at an orchid show, and thought it was so cute ...... that I just had to find one. Found one through some luck!

Good call out Kate! I have a flask of Phrag. Manzur la Aldea (flavacolor). I am getting my first one in bloom. Can't wait!
