Phrag. Apple Pie

[Heather]

This spike, which has been growing since August, has finally rewarded me with a bloom. Many buds continue to develop.

The cross is Magdalene Rose 4N x besseae 'Paute'.
It is a little toothy, but I'm thrilled with the color!

Nice yes. Of course you know that you should send this to me to inspect up close. Sure, I'll return it... TRUST ME!!!:evil:

With a name like apple pie, I was expecting a green flower.

So I was pleasently surprized to see a big red flower Heather.

Very nice:clap: :clap:

I know! I don't really get the name, to tell you the truth, but it is a large flower. I haven't measured it but it seems to have grown more since I photographed it also.

This is the plant that has branching all up and down the spike also. In a month or so, I hope to have a spectacular multi-bloom plant!

Thanks for the nice comments.

Very nice....interesting name

Second bloom opened...

And the first bloom is still on the plant! Whoa ho!!!

Aside from the issues of polyploidy, I am really happy with this plant. For $18 you can't go wrong! Also, I finally found a way to fit it into my Phrag. growing area where it is not facing the wall, so now I can look at it better.

Hey, that's actually not too bad! (especially considering it has longifolium in it!)

Nice red.
