Ok, here is the latest installment of pics from my greenhouse...

In order of coolness:

Pot. Beaufort Gold "Susan Fender" AM/AOS (not the best picture of a kind of old flower - but Heather and whoever else got these as freebies, this is what it looks like).

And finally, coolest to me, but you guys probably don't care... One of many trays of Cycnoches seedlings, no flowers though:

Oooeeee!!
Got to love that besseae! I swear, that has to be my favorite Phrag. species so far. WOW!!

Thanks for the Susan Fender pic also. All the plants look wonderful, but I really dig that bess. w/ those fatty petals! YUM!!

I also love the bessie! Simply beautiful!

The besseae was pulled for AOS judging at the last show. But only had one flower open at the time (and a bit of mechanical damage to the flower from the new bud rubbing it in the car...). I suspect if the two flowers were open, it might have gotten an HCC.

Nice Phrag, I really am not a fan of the successive flowering paphs like moquettianum or primulinum, however that is one of the nicest and biggest moquettianums I have ever seen. Very impressive!

I too wouldn't doubt if it would have got an award if it had both flowers...it has extremely good form and substance to it from what I can tell. I hope mine opens to look as good as yours.

WOW ! That moquetteanum is hugh !!! Can you tell us how big it is ??

Fully agreed with Tadd , that one may be the best I'd ever seen ! ( of course , provided that the form didn't change when it is full opened ) :clap:

beautiful, thanks for sharing :clap: , it helps a great deal to see photos from others

I'd like it to open just a bit more, it is a little cupped. My hand is in the picture for reference. I don't have huge hands, but I'd guess that the flower is maybe 4, 4.5".

Moquettianum is not a species I normally grow. I'm used to primulinum and chamberlainianum. So it was quite a pleasant surprize. I don't know how it compares to previously awarded plants. I can do the research. Or I can just take it to judging in a couple of weeks and let somebody else do the research... *grin*

I do have a couple more of these, in spike... And they are even listed on the website. <shameless_plug>GRIN</shameless_plug>
