This is the first to bloom from a compot I purchased a few years ago.
It was registered by the Eric Young Foundation in 1997 and is the
offspring of Phrag. Memoria Dick Clements x Phrag. longifolium.
I like the color but it does lack in good form. I hope that the one
I traded to one of our members flowers soon as I would like to compare
the two.

I dig the pouch on these! Great spots!!

Great shot! Very nice.

The color's great!
Mine seems to have adjusted well and is putting out nice fat new roots, but I don't know if I'm who you're referring to. ;)

the pouch is spectacular!

thanks

Very nice, great colour and pouch

It's a very nice looking flower - don't know enough to judge the form.

Cheers
Stephan

Great looking flower :clap: I bought a seedling of one these in Janaury. It's growing realy well and cann't way for it to flower.

Very good color. I have a couple of awarded Porter's Orchids Noirmonts posted on Stephen's Awarded Slippers Page, if you want to compare.

It is a superb cross , colour is superb.
Mine has longer petals , this may be because it is from 4n parents
or just that it has bloomed before.

Heather, Thanks for the pict link.

Dwayne, Thanks for your pict link.

Tim, I didn't bother to measure as it is a first bloom seedling but if you really want to know I'll get them for you.

Thanks for responding to the request, Paphgirl. I've been away for a few days.

Hi Jeff,

I guess I was just thinking that if it was nearing the size of the awarded clones that it might be in with a chance... but as u say, if it is a first bloom will most likely improve with age....

just out of interest, are these big plants? ie sorcerer's apprentice size?


cheers
tim

Nice pictures
Lovely color on the flower.
Keep up so we have something to lighten our days when the light is getting shorter and shorter :)

Well mine has 4 growths so pretty mature and has individual leaves 29" long but thinner & floppier than Phragensteins.
Spike is on it,s last flower(10th) & is a miniscule 50"high :D
Basically pretty BIG.

Dwayne stated it correctly...as a first bloom seedling it is larger than many of my full grown phrags.

very nice :clap:
