Phrag besseae 'Big Boy' x 'Colossal'

[TDT]

My bess has been flowering since August - first flower was a bit browned on the edges from the heat of that month, but subsequent flowers have been lovely! Branching spike, with two flowers, three buds and a new growth at about 2.5".

Thanks so much Chuck!

That is a fantastic one! Is it mounted by any chance?

Here's my thread from last year with photos of how it's planted.
Thanks!

I like it. But it's hard to go wrong with phrags, and even harder to go wrong with besseae and its hybrids.

I've been thinking about picking up a besseae as of late, but I may wait until next year. I'm also considering getting a dalessandroi instead, because I like the flower shape better and the branching inflorescence.

Yay besseae! I wonder if this is one of the ones from the WOC lava flow of besseaes. I should get a few.

Gorgeous flower and very healthy plant. The way you have it growing in a
mini-terrarium is so interesting and successful...also very attractive.
