Phrag Cardinal

My Phrag Cardinal (Andean Fire x dalessandroi) has a new bloom.

Lovely color and that very round pouch is delightful.

Nice! Hopefully these branch as they get bigger

Yay besseae hybrids! That shape is surprising. Thanks for sharing. Where did you get it?

 

[eaborne]

Awesome!

Wow! Great color.

Great color and shape! I would love to see the plant.

The bloom fell off. The leaf span is 7 inches. The yellow leaf is the last leaf remaining from the old growth.

 

[ScientistKen]

Wow! Great color.

Thanks Tom. On the first bloom, I tried polinating it with my Rosalie Dixler but it didn't take. Maybe next year.

Thanks!
(For the plant shot - gives one perspective)

Gorgeous bloom on a compact plant - what's not to like?

You can make that three.

I think I was the second person to contact Marilyn. By chance, I found one on eBay. Hope it's even half as nice as ScientistKen's...

Did you outbid me in Tony's auction!?

 

[cpmaniac]

Yep. Sent you a message...
