Phrag. klotzscheanum

[tomkalina]

In bloom this morning. We grow these in full sun, so colors (especially the red petal strips) are pretty bleached out at these light levels. Grown with pots sitting in water.

What a nice species! I am just starting to understand how to grow them.

There's not one thing wrong with those flowers. I like them very much.

Thanks for the info.

How big is the pouch Tom? It looks huge but I have no context.
When you say "sitting in" water... literally? Ebb and flow table, or just plop them in water in a tray?

Thanks

Jake,

The pouch is large relative to the rest of the flower, but since the pouches were removed for pollination, there's no way to measure them There's one more bud coming, so I should be able to measure it when it blooms. The pot is sitting in a shallow plastic tray of rainwater about 1 " deep. It gets refilled whenever I water the collection.

Nice Tom. One plant, two flowers?
