I had the chance to take pictures of an other clone in Dresden last week.
Its a realy nice species, much bigger than schlimii with a different habitus.

Has mazurii been declared an actual species?

Neither manzurii nor x columbianum are listed on Rob's phragweb.info site that I could find.

Love the coloration on this!

 

[Phrag-Plus]

The last photo, show a flower with pointed petals look like an Hanna Popow... It suppose to be an hybrid betwen two rounded petal flower isn't? If it is???

 

[NYEric]

The redder, pointed petal bloom (on the left) is a different plant I believe.

 

[Trimorph]

Yes, the red plant on the left is a Phrag. besseae in a different pot.
(And in front of the last picture is a fuzzy cattleya)

NICE!! Wish we could find the species available.

We live in the wrong side of Germany! I think someone in the midwest may be doing something with these but I have not confirmed.

While judging at a recent event in southern Colombia, a hybrid of manzurii x besseae was exhibited. David Manzur was also at the event.

The flower was similar to Phrag Hanne Popow in size and color, but had distinctive bi-colored petals with a strong horizontal line of seperation between the upper and lower halves. The top half was rose pink and the lower half was white. There was no yellow or red in the flower except for the yellow staminode.

I saw a photo of a greenish one recently, was that one of those?

 

[slippertalker]

Phrag manzurii has greenish yellow petals.....the pouch is pink and the staminode yellow. It is the size and shape of schlimii....I think that manzurii, fischeri and schlimii are very closely related......varieties of schlimii.

Oh, we know about manzurii since 2009. Just seems so non-existant here!
