I had to prop-up the flower because it tends to hang down low.

That is a tall dorsal! This is one of my favorite Phrags. I just love the color and the large flowers.

Mine did not bloom this year, but it's busy putting out new growths so maybe in the fall.

It is certainly a lot darker.

Yes, same plant. This is a good example of how temperature affects Phrag's colors. That last blooming was in a heat wave. This one is is blooming in the greenhouse which gets down to 55ºF at night. It's redder than I remember it being at any previous blooming.

A beautiful flower Dot. Sometimes this flower produces a really rich colour which doesn't always come across in a photo. :clap:
