Firestorm

[Jorch]

I got this plant from Phrag Guy (Russell) a few months ago. Came back from holiday, and voila! It's the 3rd (last) flower on the spike. The first one bloomed without a pouch, and the 2nd flower was already open for a week when I got home. Glad I didn't miss this last flower, I love the color and the fuzziness! The flower is quite large, 5.5 inches across. Thank you Russell!!

I didn't look at this thread for quite a while because I knew I'd be jealous. These guys don't seem to be available down in this neck of the woods.

Great close up!
