Default Phrag. Andean Fire update
On April 19 the first flower opend on my Andean Fire. Four days ago the second flower opened. There are still 2 more buds but this will be the only time I have two flowers opened at once. I'm so happy with this plant!

(Sorry Ross, I could not help but use a black background, cliche or not! )

Todd you did an excellent job growing your phrag. One species I do not have and by the looks of what you have produced...am sold. The bloom is in a class of its own

Not all Andean Fires have this good a colour. Most I've seen have been more coral tones and rather washed out. I never expected mine to be such a great colour. If I lived in the right place, I'd love to have it judged. For my first phrag, I'm happy, happy, happy!
