PHRAGMIPEDIUM BESSEAE - INFLUENCED HYBRIDS

PHRAGMIPEDIUM BESSEAE - INFLUENCE HYBRIDS

Phragmipedium besseae was discovered in Ecuador and Peru in the early 1980's. That a stunning bright red/orange flower could remain unknown for so long is one of the great stories in orchid history. Since then, Phrag besseae has been used extensively in hybridization, resulting in many of the most popular Phrags on the market today. Also, Phrag besseae comes in a range of colors, deep red, orange, salmon, peach, and pure yellow. With this palette, orchid breeders are working to create new and appealing hybrids that are easy to grow and bloom. Many of the hybrids listed below are original crosses produced by Woodstream Orchids.

One of our good customers in New Zealand purchased a flask from us 5-6 years ago and bloomed this incredible Phrag Beaumont which received a Silver medal from CSA and was named Best Orchid Grown in New Zealand in 2007! Way to go Ross and Susan!
