Another gorgeous Phrag. This looks a little paler than the other one to me.

It's easier to see the difference when you look at the photos side by side.... 'Haven' x 'Smokin' has more yellow on the pouch. |

nice blooms 
I really enjoy the beauty of the paph and phrag blooms. Add the fact that they dont end up as "CRAP in a pot" so readily for me

I'd vote for the second one... Fuller petals, brighter color. But any besseae is a good besseae in my opinion. My favorite species.
