Phrag. Allison Strohm (kovachii x Living Fire)

I posted a picture of this clone five weeks ago (http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10892). I wanted to show you guys how it looks now. When I first posted the picture, the flower had just opened. After a few days the petals started to reflex. It now has 2 flowers open, the first flower is still hanging on there (after 5 weeks!), so it is pretty long lasting. I actually don't mind that it reflexed, I still think it has a good presentation.

I agree, the twisted petals don't distract very much from the beauty of the blooms!

 

[Leo Schordje]

Wow

 

[NYEric]

That's a more vibrant color than I've usually seen. Yay besseae hybrids!!

 

[Elena]

Still gorgeous!

Holy Moly! Out of control color. I too would like to know just how big they are. I prefer the twisting of the petals - flat and round flowers are a bore!

It is 14 cm across, and the petals are 3.6 cm wide.

Thanks very much, Robert! I prefer the current "look" to the just opened "look". This is a super cross!

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Wow! I do prefer it full open like that even if it wave a bit.. Gorgeous one!

Magnifico and certainly is huge

 

[Hera]

I think its lovely.

 

[SlipperFan]

What a beauty! The twisting reminds me of Phrag. cardinale -- and I think the twisting on both is desirable and attractive.

5 weeks is amazing in itself! It's very nice that it holds the flowers for a long time.
