Prince Albert in a Can
 

I posted this on FB because up until now my IP had some issues. Thanks to our FEARLESS LEADER, Marty, I'm back! This used to be called Phrag Dick Clements x pearcii 'Birchwood'. Now, he's in a can..... Phrag Prince Albert

That's beautiful Howard! Great color!

That's a beauty, Howard. Well done!

Beautiful Phrag, Howard! Rather interesting name, though, seems to be a play on words with the names of the parents... Google 'Prince Albert' and 'piercing' if you don't know what I'm talking about. <---WARNING! Not for the faint of heart, prudish, or those under 18!

Very lovely!

You know, Nat, this is a G-Rated site.... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yeah, that's why I didn't post a link! Whatever people choose to look up on Google in their own time is none of my concern...:coverlaugh:

Nat, it's always great to have a lighter side to the conversation.

Very nice slipper, Doc. You sure know how to pick them . Lovely photo too :D

Hopefully I'm not getting TOO light with it. So I just had to look up this cross to see who registered it, apparently it was Fritz Schomburg in 2004. I've never met the guy, but just going by his sense of humor I bet I'd like him. :biggrin:

Lovely flower and welcome back to OB :)

Beautiful flower! Congratulations Howard.

Cheers.

Glad to see you're back, Howard, and got your issues solved.

Beautiful flower Ron love the colours and super photos.

Thanks to all for the wonderful comments and it is so nice to be back with all of you.....

Beautiful! What temps do you grow this one? I'm thinking of a red phrag but read somewhere they like it cool.

I grow in my greenhouse which varies almost on a daily basis between 70's daytime to low 60's at night. Sometimes I even drop down to 57 at night. And if we are lucky here in Michigan to get a sunny day, I could easily top 88F. They do like it cool and lots of water.

Beautiful bloom - funny name :p

I think I could manage those temps. Our summers are very cool at night, usually 11 c [51 f ]
Maybe I'll get lucky and find one at the orchid show, if I don't spend my money on a vasco or tolumnia.

well grown doc, and as always expertly photoed....good growing!
