Phrag from sckans

[Hien]

Just by chance I found on the internet the Southwestern College Greenhouse .
http://www.sckans.edu/other/greenhouse/directory/
I email and get answers from Mr. Max Thompson & Mr. Bryon Rinke . Very nice gentlemen .
Look at the price, I think they are more of the Educators type and simply provide the divisions of their plants to share the joy of owning the awarded plants with other peoples.
Any way, I can not be selfish and keep the secret to myself so do look them up (they also have plants from other genera)
The plants I ordered just arrived today:
-Don Wimber 'Max" AM/AOS 84 pts
-Ruby Cascade 'Walnut Valley" HCC/AOS 78pts
here is the link of the Don Wimber photo, the picture is too large to upload

I think,
yes,
I am lucky to find this source just by chance .. A few weeks ago , I am asking other forum members for suggestions of Red Phrags. to rebuild the collection.
-Now I just want to grow the plants that I could enjoy without the long wait from flasks (although some peoples actually enjoying that)
-secondly, a plant already flower , I don't have to wonder about the potential of flowering (some individuals that were raised from a batch of seedlings may not be willing to flower as their siblings)
-thirdly, it was even already awarded, so we know the flower got to be nice

I totally agree with you Hien. Buy a plant large enough
to bloom soon and make you happy. That's a gorgeous
Phrag.

That is a fabulous plant.

I can't wait to see your division in a years time.

Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy!

Actually, Mr Max and Mr. Bryon are so nice, they sent a division that they happen to have on hand with flower spike .
So if everything goes right, I may be able to enjoy the Don Wimber flower in a few weeks .
