Branching Phrag. besseae fma. flavum

[silence882]

This year's bloom from my best of one of Chuck Acker's crosses. Not the roundest bloom I've gotten out of this plant, but pretty good. It decided to branch, though. It's weird that it's happening on a besseae and not a dalessandroi.

Lovely and not unusual in my experience. I have one that branches. Mine was quite a big larger than your plant when it branched. Good growing.

I have both red and yellow besseae branching.

Why? Galvanized steel provides all the zinc my 'chids could want.

When that bloom is bent over to the floor, you will reconsider!

I've used these things for years and never had a problem.

OK.

A lovely looking flower and hopefully, on a few more spikes and it will look stunning.
