Nice lighting on these pics. That dark edge on the staminode is an interesting feature.

Very nice!

Lovely photos. I agree with Tom about the lighting.

Have you noticed: Does your longifolium get darker with cooler temperatures? I've been noticing that mine is much greener now that it's warming up.

I'm starting to get the hang of this camera. I'm even starting to like my pics!:rollhappy:

Sorry Dot for missing your question. The answer is yes. I see this with, I believe, all the Phrags that can bloom during different times of the year. The ones that bloom the same time each year seem stable and that's probably the only reason they're stable!

Interesting theory -- thanks. I'll have to keep better track...
