Phragmipedium Yelva Myre ‘Roe’meo is Bleeding’ HCC/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

Awarded this past weekend to a good friend Andrew from Roehampton Orchids. Their first award! Congrats.

Scraped by with a 75 points. Look at the true red color! Compact plant too vs mine that has grown double leaf length.

Stunning!
It must be up there with the very best of the kovachii crosses. The photos from ecuagenera when it first bloomed were amazing. Such depth of colour and consistency!
There will probably be many awards for this grex.
I traded a division of Bob Betts ‘white lightning’ for a plant. It should flower very soon.

This cross I find has the most true red coloration.

My Yelva 'Bloody Mary' AM/AOS is also finally in low spike now, taking it's sweet 3 year slow growing journey since its award in 2017/18 lol.

Hope to see yours in spike too!

PS my Yelva is the only phrag in my collection now. Sold or gave away the rest.

Of what? There are more red besseae hybrids!

A true deep crimson beauty

I meant this cross has more flowers approaching true spectrum red rather than orange overtones.

All of this cross has this color, must be due to kaieteurum influence, almost what you would think fischeri would do.

Exactly right Leslie. A true crimson red has a lovely, deep undertone of blue that gives it depth and presence.
