    Default Phragmipedium besseae var Flavum

    Here is the first re bloom of my Phrag. bessese var Flavum. I am pleased with it. Last year it branched for for me so I am hoping for that to happen again but I know that it is unlikely to so it a second time on this classic species.

    Thanks Zain, I hate the way that the yellow is never in focus on this phrag. Time and time again it always come out blurred but these two are a little more sharp.

    What a great Phrag. Could someone describe the coloration on the sides of the labellum? It looks as if there are openings but I know there isn't any. I think.

    GenevaDad the markings on the side are called windows. I think that all bessese phrags and many of it's hybrids have them. Don't ask me why though.

    I like the way the column is prominently featured on this bloom. The color and form are lovely.
