Yellow phragmipediums

I buy pretty much every cross chuck makes, never seen one bloom like that... Looks more like a straight besseae. Besseaes are a bit tricky, I've had more than one flask with besseae listed as the pod parent that turned out to be a selfing.

Rob, The petals seem pretty darn wide for a besseae, don’t they?
If it is a besseae, it is an amazing one, Gerry.

Yes, very nice petals. I'd keep it. Wonder what the reputed parents are. I'm not saying it is impossible, just that it looks very, very besseae.

Very nice, good form and substance. What Acker's cross # is it?
Yay besseae flavum! Thanks for sharing.
