she's back -

back to blooming! This is a 'practice' OZ cross (Balance x Curves) that Paphiness quite often offers on ebay. I got it this spring, in bloom, handled the shipping, repotting & change of environment without missing a beat!

Fantastic bloom and my favorite Phrag. species!

Yay besseae! Was this one of the 3-plant, practice besseae specials? Show us the plants please.

Nice Rose

 

[Justin]

Nice!

 

[SlipperFan]

Gorgeous, both in color and in shape.

 

[Migrant13]

Very nice!

 

[Hera]

So beautiful!

WOW...knock your socks off RED! The shape is appealing too, rose. I'd
call that Chinese red as it has a bit of orange in the background color.
Delicious.

 

[NYEric]

Delicious.

Yes, you need one of these! :evil:

Thanks guys! Haven't been able to grow bess until I did the ebb n flow.

oops, this was not the one I got from Dean (see next comment). Jason Fischer was down in Jan. to give a presentation, I got it from him. This cross is available in Dean's 3 pack as well. I should have known to do a plant photo, I'll work on it!

I'd say it's a bit more orangey than it shows in the photo.
After succeeding with this one, in spring I got a better quality cross from Dean that is red.

I totally agree Eric. I do need this one and the unattainable St. Eligius as
well. Aaahhh well, spring will arrive some day and I'll just drool at the photos in the
meantime.

So beautiful! The color is just incredible! And a great photo to showcase it!

 

[Heather]

Lovely. I really need to get another besseae one of these days!

 

[NYEric]

:evil: Do you even grow orchids any more!?

Nice job growing, Rose!
