Phragmipedium Susan Kulhavi

[Djthomp28]

These are two phrags from the same Woodstream flask of St.Ouen x andreetae. Each blooming gets a little better.



Here are the two when they started blooming

I'm a pink Phrag. person and I think they're
just lovely. They will improve as they mature.

Thanks! And yes, these are from flask. They took about 18-20 months from flask to bloom.

Here is an update on the Susan Kulhavi clone on the left in the side by side photo. It is maturing nicely.

How many blooms are you getting per spike, and over how long? I think I really like this hybrid...

Beautiful and just my style. If you ever want to let any of the plants go to a good
home, remember I'm here.

Looking good, this and your namesake are 2 of the stars of Woodstream breeding.

Sadly there is no detectable fragrance.

I will remember that if one of these ever needs to go during my periodic "down sizing" efforts than just result in more orchids a month later.

There are approximately 4-5 flowers per spike. It bloomed for about a month early. Then took 2-3 weeks off. And started up again. So 2 months of blooming... these are good growers.

The other clone is also blooming at the moment.
