Phrag. andreettae. My easiest Phrag - fast growing, easy to grow, blooms twice a year, no brown leaf tips, no problems!

Barbara LeAnn, a perpetual bloomer.

Hanne Popow, also in bloom for most of the year.

schlimii. I have three. This one has the least attractive flower of the three but it's the only reliable bloomer among them.

Thanks for looking! :)
 
Lovely flowers and no brown tips! How on earth do you manage that??? I seem to have lots of wonderful blooms and also a good bit of brown tips on
older leaves. I've been playing Snip The Tips all winter.

Love Hanne Popow because it just keeps on blooming for months. I think I'm
on the 10 bloom and its not finished...smells good too!
 
Wow always blooming? Large plants?

Not really. 3-5 growths, the old ones tend to die off.

I don't know. I always get the brown tips on schlimii. I cut them off and after a while the tips are brown again, cut again, rinse and repeat. My other Phrags usually don't get them and andreettae never. It seems to love warmth too, it thrives in summer when other Phrags struggle.
 
your andreettae flower form is excellent.
Most of the plants of this species have very non symmetrical petals , and look bad.
This one deserve to be selfed or bred with another good form one of same quality .
 
Ah well, Hamlet, sweet mysteries of life. Interesting though that some Phrags.
never have brown tips and some have them in the cut, brown again, rinse,
repeat cycle. I've been trying to find the cause for years it seems. I don't
know either.
