A beautiful use of besseae to bring red into an already attractive flower. Expect significant substance to the flower that should be triploid.
Phragmipedium
70501 Phragmipedium Summer Sun
(Phragmipedium Eric Young 'Rocket Fire' [4N]) x Phragmipedium Waunakee Sunset 'Cherry')Another triploid breeding producing considerably substance into the flower
70206 Phragmipedium Mont Remon
(Phragmipedium Memoria Dick Clements 'Rocket Fire' [4N] x Phrigmipedium Nicholle Tower)The pod parent is 4N so these should be triploid giving nice large flowers with good substance.
70502 Phragmipedium Grouville
(Phragmipedium Eric Young 'Rocket Fire' [4N] x Phragmipedium Hanne Popow 'Jersey' AM/RHS [4N])Both parents are 4N so we expect the progeny to be tetraploids as well.
70605 Phragmipedium Don Wimber
(Phragmpedium Eric Young 'Rocket Fire' x Phragmipedium besseae 'Rocket Town')A probable 4N remake of the a flower that is sensational as a 2N. We expect these to be spectacular.
61215 Phragmipedium Grande
(Phragmipedilum longifolium x Phragmipedium humboltii)A nice remake of this delightful medium to long petal Phrag.
70204 Phragmipedium Magdalene Rose
(Phragmipedium Eric Young 'Rocket Fire' [4N] x Phragmipedium Beauport 'Rose Flare' [4N])Both parents are 4N. We expect these plants and flowers to be 4N
61216 Phragmipedium Macrochilum
(Phragmipedium lindenii x Phragmipedium longifolium)We have just seen the first two bloom. The petal length favors longifolium. Fortunately to plants are not outrageously large.
50706 Phragmipedium Fred Wright
(Phragmipedium lindleyannum 'War Eagle' x Phragmipedium wallisi [syn. wallisii] 'Tower Grove' HCC/AOS)Large plants in 5″ pots. We believe these are blooming size, but have not seen any bloom yet. Both parents have long petals and we are looking for the offspring to have long petals, too. Photograph when?
60803 Phragmipedium Saint Peter
(Phragmipedium Eric Young 'Rocket Fire' {4N} x Phragmipedium longifolium 'Waunakee')The photograph is of the only one we have seen bloom to date, but the rest of the plants are the same size so they should be spiking any time soon. Again probably a triploid so don’t look for breeding plants
60802 Phragmipedium Rosy Charm
(Phragmipedium Memoria Dick Clements 'Rocket Flash' [4N] x Phragmipedium schlimii 'Isolde')Another bred to be a triploid, so no breeding potential. We have flowered just a few but the rest of the plants are the same size so expect blooming any time now. It looks very much like a slightly smaller version of Memoria Dick Clements.
60801 Phragmipedium Cape Sunset
(Phragmipedium Ericc Young 'Rocket Fire' [4N] x Phragmipedium schlimii 'Isolde')Just a lovely pink flower. We photographed this as one of the first to bloom. Many have flowered flatter and we will photograph one of those soon. Head’s up, expect this to be a triploid. Do not expect it to breed.
