Wow!

The yellow Phrags. always look soooo cheerful and sunny. I'd love to have
one like this one.

Very nicely balanced flower. Can you please post a pic of the whole plant? If not can you give me an idea of the LS? Thanks.

I just had to come back and take another look. Yep, it even prettier than
the first two times I've looked at it.

LS is 35 cm to 40 cm. The foliage is besseae-type

I've never heard of one actually coming out yellow. Gave up on flavum-made hybrids years ago as the colors in mine always seemed about the same as the regular ones.

You can get some yellow St. Ouens only by backcrossing a Hanne Popow flavum back to besseae flavum. Most hybridizers used a normal Hanne Popow made from a red besseae and backcrossed it to besseae flavum. I had a bunch of those and I got the same as you did. Another example is in Phrag. Robert-Jan Quene when he used a Fritz Schomburg flavum and backcrossed to besseae flavum. Some offspring came out yellow and he posted both colored ones here some time ago. Too bad this one is a 3N, because it would be a good one for further yellow breeding. I sure would love to see more yellow phrags!
