This is the annual appearance of the ‘remembrance’ clone.
It has grown well this year and is now producing a strong spike and two new growths.
It sat outside all summer and seems to have enjoyed it.
Unfortunately it continues to be a climber so there is plenty of NZ sphagnum stuffed in and around the base of the growths and held in place with plastic and twisty ties. Not elegant but it is the best that I can do at the moment.
I unpotted it in autumn. It has lovely roots but there was no way I could repot it without either going for a huge pot or cutting off the new growths and there were not enough new roots for that.

There are now three fully mature growths and the plant is probably as big as my conditions allow. The flowers get a bit bigger each year and this year are about 12cm across.

Finally a plant shot for Eric. Less is more in the way of feed continues to work well for these phrags. Next year I may have to bite the bullet and cut of the newer growths to make it more manageable.
