Yoko W. Fischer

I haven’t been posting many pictures but this one just opened and thought it was worth sharing. First bloom seedling from a Peruflora flask. In person I think the color has a bit more blue in it.

Beautiful Phrag. The symmetry is just about perfect as is the color.

More red than mine and a very nice shape. Do you know the names of the breeding parents?

I made a mistake on this, it isn’t actually Yoko W. Fischer it is Peruflora’s Sprit x besseae either unnamed or Ekolu Quintal depending on how you view dalessandroi. Would an admin be willing to change the title to avoid confusion?

 

[terryros]

Phrag. dalessandroi is still officially, by Kew/RHS, creating separate hybrids from besseae. So, if you have Peruflora’s Spirit x dalessandroi it is Ekolu Quintal. Also, Peruflora’s Spirit is a different hybrid than the Peruflora’s Cirila Alca parent in Yoko W. Fischer. So, now I understand why the flowers look quite different from Yoko W. Fischer.

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Peruflora’s Spirit = kovachii x Eric Young with 50% kovachii + 25% besseae +25% longifolium

Peruflora’s Cirila Alca = kovachii x dalessandroï 50% kovachii + 50% dalessandroï

Basically they are completely different...

Beautiful flower, as Angela said, perfect symmetry. Good growing!
