Phragmipedium Yelva Myre ‘Bloody Mary’ AM/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

The only Phrag in my collection lol. Huge plant at almost 50 cm total width!

Dark raspberry red flower approaching 12 cm NS, bigger than when awarded (petals 6.2 by 3.5 cm). Plus 2 buds. Will be quite a show if all 3 open at the same time.

Nice and well grown. It’s a great grex.

Lovely! Mine is also in bud.

These kovachii hybrid get huge over time but they are worth the real estate. What's the next phrag to add to your collection? This one needs a friend

Excellent Leslie, I'm also waiting for my YM's first bloom. It will still take a few days.
The ever-growing plants also present me with ever greater challenges.

I’d likely move it to my kovachii (Ewok) friend.

Yes I do it once I’m able to move the giant plant. Flower has expanded another cm already.

Still working on convincing mine to flower

Beautiful

It's hard to capture the right color. The first few days it was more of a burgundy color, now it's slightly pink. Almost 12cm wide, very beautifully colored first flower.

@rauhaariger, lovely flower and worthy of its own thread!

I thought...

 

[Djthomp28]

Oh, I love seeing it here also. I just don't want others miss it attached to this thread.

Posting separately is completely your choice. There is no right or wrong way to sharing your wonderful bloom and photo!
