Don Wimber

Petals are thicker and a little darker than they appear. There is a lot of light coming from behind.

Very pretty Phrag.! I love the soft color. Is the new growth climbing out of the
pot?

 

[ScientistKen]

Thanks. No. It's just slightly above the mix which is probably ok because I have a fair amount of rockwool cubes in the mix. The growth on the left would benefit from being a little deeper. That growth just got done blooming.

Oh good, I dislike chasing climbers around!

Mine climbs, too. How long does yours hold two blooms on one spike? And I think I might just have an oxalis as well!!!

 

[abax]

Oh my, get that oxalis out of there before it spits seeds. I visited a commercial greenhouse
over run with oxalis and staghorn ferns. It ain't a pretty sight.

I have not paid much attention. But it is in spike now. I will let you know.

I pulled the oxalis. It seems to hold pretty long. The oldest of the two blooms in the first pic was open for about 3 weeks before the other one opened. Right now, I have two new blooms open on the same spike and a branch has formed with a bud. This plant is very prolific and holds blooms well.
