Don Wimber 'remembrance'

[monocotman]

Finally reaching a mature size after several years and a near death experience with rot.
Originally an EYOF plant bought from Ratcliffes.
This is the second mature growth but the first proper full size flower spike with 2 side shoots. The spike is already well over 2 feet high.
It looks like the plant needs two fully mature growths before this sort of flowering can happen.
Will post again when there are the side shoots flower,

It is a beautiful flower and the plant seems to be pretty happy right now. I have one that I like a lot, but it has had two near death experiences in the last 8 years. This one and a Jason Fischer, both tetraploids, are the most difficult of all of my phrags. They grow great for a few years and then they rot and nearly die. They are a big PITA, but the flowers are very worthwhile. Mike
