Phrag schlimii

[koshki]

First time to bloom for me! Another spike is a few weeks behind this one, and a possible third one is just developing. :rollhappy:

Very nice,
mine is in buds at the moment, it flowered the first time one year ago, but more bluish than yours.
Best regards, and good luck for the next spikes!

 

[Shiva]

Well done Katherine. Very pretty.

Nice pop!
You are on a roll.

I have to give all the credit to letting my orchids spend the summer outdoors. I've got spikes growing all over the place! :rollhappy:

What a charmer!

 

[John M]

That's a nice one! Very cute!

Must be that Michigan weather! It sure wouldn't work here for me in TX

Depending on if my only Prag will get through the winter this year I'll get one of these next year. Allready spotted a few of them in one of my favourite nurseries.

[NYEric]

Nice and dont forget, fragrant also!

I think we had several weeks of 90+ days here...it was a very hot summer...my tomatoes went on strike! I kept these guys in their saucers, and watered daily to recirculate the water.

Must just be beginner's luck!

I did not know this, so I had to go stick my nose right in it! It sits on the shelf below my in-bloom phal violacea alba which is very fragrant, so I think the scent of this phrag is masked.

A bit like roses? I'm not sure...does it have a time-of-day scent?

 

[NYEric]

yes, a combination of roses and raspberries! Stronger in the AM.

 

[koshki]

Well, I'll be sure to go stick my nose in there first thing tomorrow! I love raspberries!

 

[NYEric]

Enjoy.

You do your homework -- not just luck!
