A little Fritz action

[Duck Slipper]

Fritz Schomberg,
This Fritz took a 2 year break after getting rot. It had bloomed twice before, but this is its best bloom yet.

Both pics taken with morning sunrise moments apart. Looks like I lost a bit of clarity or sharpness with the closeup.

Wow, this is a red ! Good it survived the rot attack.

I lost my Fritz! It rotted away so fast it was scary! I was told it was due to unusually high temps We had week long 90°+ heat waves…less than a week another would hit! I love warm weather and I was ready to die too 1890’s old Victorian farmhouse…no air conditioning. I have since gotten lots of advice about Kovachii primary hybrids! Keep it as Cool as Possible!

Besseae ‘First Kiss x Kovachi ‘Purplicious’

Stunning! Looks like a relatively compact plant too for the size of blooms. I’m also battling rot on some of my Fritz’s, seems to be a pretty common problem. Glad this one bounced back, congrats!

Very nice flower. The stem is unusually tall too.
