Phrag Darlene Thompson

[MorandiWine]

I love when red Phrags spike in winter.

Aside from one petal a little wonky, I’m happy.

nice form and color. Where'd you get this from?

 

[MorandiWine]

Originally from Woodstream Orchids

I’m not sure what color that is, but, most excellent! Almost maroon.

 

[MorandiWine]

Duck, I am leaning towards "Garnet"

Wow! I hope my Darlenes turn out that nice! Does it have those lovely spots inside the pouch that some of the other Darlenes have?

It’s ‘dark magenta’ ! Very nice

I love, love the color. If it is a first bloomer, it will only get better.

Also, I am tickled by the Darlenes discussion. Fun!

Very faint spotting in the pouch, but the rim is lined with them. Iphone pic with flash.

Lovely Phrag. It looks like deep crimson ribbons to me...very silky texture.

That's got good substance. Unfortunately in orchid-talk the colors are limited so magenta not red.

I still like “garnet.” Is that allowable?

 

[cnycharles]

No!!! ‘We are colorifically correct around here’
My stepfathers name was garnet, good name/color

That's a beauty! It's quite different than the others I've seen. I love the intense colour and sheen. The shape is quite plaeasing also. What's the NS?

Looks much bigger that that lol.

I love the shape. And the red color intensity is a wow.

I would love it to be bigger, maybe next blooming after I have tweaked it a little. Nice thing is that there are three new growths starting!
