View Full Version : Phrag Grande 'Acker's Vista' AM/AOS Ron-NY November 17th, 2005, 04:52 PM This is a wonderful Grande, one of Glen's. I just love the color and the way the flower hangs. I will post a poor pic of a Grande 4N for comparison http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a206/Ron-NY/GrandeAckersVista.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a206/Ron-NY/Grande4N.jpg Paphraguy November 17th, 2005, 04:57 PM Looks great, Ron! Grande is one of my favorite hybrids. Paphgirl November 17th, 2005, 04:59 PM Awwww, they look like sweethearts! :heart: Glen's doing the RI show, right Ron? We just "found out" we've booked him for our NHOS June meeting. Yay! The new program committee I'm on has been wading through the schedule this week. Talk about confusion! Someone talked to Glen last week about coming in the spring, and here we find out, we'd already booked him, but no one knew when! Thank goodness Glen keeps good records. :roll: I may be volunteering to run the new "culture corner" for the newsletter. You people are going to get a lot of questions! This forum is such a great resource and wealth of knowledge! Oops, I think I just ran off topic. Glen's Grande is Gorgeous!! :joy: Dwayne Dibbley November 17th, 2005, 05:09 PM :clap: Very nice indeed. Ron-NY November 17th, 2005, 05:21 PM Heather yes he left today for the show Paphgirl November 17th, 2005, 05:35 PM Yippee! :whoo: Don't know what I'd buy, since I saw him just last week, and two weeks prior, but I always love his displays, and saying "Ron says hi!" :D argus November 17th, 2005, 05:46 PM This is a wondeful large fowered Grande that is unusually subtle in color. I have a small division that has been growing exctrmely slowly over the years.Any tips? I also have a photo of this cultivar taken at the GNYOS several years ago. Its not a great picture(early years of digital photography) but the extremely long dorsal is shown to good effect, and the overall subtletly of the flower is apparent. http://www.argusorchids.net/images/photopages/special/gnyos99/GNYOS_gallery3.htm bhams November 17th, 2005, 07:46 PM Love the form of it falling from the stem nice colours - well done great growing Billie TADD November 17th, 2005, 09:00 PM Very pretty...
