Purchased with this tag as a division with a single, small fan. Grew this second (now blooming) fan in about a year. I like the curly edges, but I had thought schroderae had longer petals? Still pretty, even without long petals, of courses!

I would assume this is Phrag. Sendenii and a quick trip to the search engine suggests that there's a "roseum" variety of that hybrid. Certainly the flower looks like what I'd expect from a Phrag. Sendenii or similar hybrid.

There's pretty much no chance it's 50% caudatum. So, I don't believe this is Phrag. Schroederae.

I bet thirty cents someone was having a memory lapse and accidentally conflated the name of these two very famous "S" hybrids while reading or writing the label at some point.
