    Default Phrag besseae

    The red one is 'Bleeding Heart' x 'Colassal' and was one of the besseae in Frank's besseae lined river at the WOC. My peach one is 'Smokin' x Haven' which I had gotten from the NYS grower that I am friend's with. I wish my yellow one was in bloom for this portrait.

    I'd love to find a phal in that shade of red, it's an eye-catching one. Nice one there!

    The picture of the river of besseae display I saw was breath-taking. Very cool to have a piece of it.
