This nice hybrid has been in bloom for a couple of weeks now on multiple spikes. Small flowers...can't say the same for the plant.

Quite striking! I love the shading in this one.

Very lovely. I get the impression this is a large plant?

The flowers are beautiful! That's my main complaint with most phrags, gigantic plant and smallish flowers.

Hi Kim,

This one is fairly large with the plant being about 2-3 feet across. It has about 5 growths right now, so I suspect it will get even larger.

That is sooo pretty. Does this one usually hold several blooms on each spike?

Unfortunately, this one is a sequential bloomer for the most part. The most flowers I ever had open at the same time, on the same spike, was two. But it does have multi-branching spikes occasionally, so sometimes there are 4-5 flowers open as the same time.

That's very nice. I cannot wait mine to bloom. It has struggled for a few years and it is coming back.
