This is a first-time bloom for my Phrag. besseae, so excited... my first besseae!!! As NYEric would say, "yay besseae!"
It's an OL cross: Rob's First x Big Kiss.

very nice

Thanks everybody! I am really happy with the color, a very saturated orange-red. The petals are not that flat, a little forward-flexed, but still nice and fat. I wonder if the petals will flatten with subsequent blooming?

I really love these plants and am tempted to try one. Can it tolerate summers in the mid-80's?
