Phrag. fischeri

[Alex]

This one has opened, and I like it. I'm told it's from Ecuagenera originally (via Poland).

Only an iPhone pic, all I have I'm afraid, but I rather like the level of detail for a phone camera.

Cheers,

Alex

It is quite frequent with young fischeri plants. Once the plant is well stablished multigrowth it will do it fine.

The colour is quite nice. We see a lot of fischeris with missing staminode shields. I didn't realize that it tends to be just the young plants that do that. It's nice to know....all we have to do is grow them well and let them become multiple growth and that problem goes away. They look a LOT better with a staminode shield. I have one plant of this species; but, I have not seen it flower. It's produced two spikes for me; but, there were always problems with the buds; so I took off the stems in the hopes that a little more growing would help strengthen the plant and allow it to make nice flowers instead of wonky ones!

Great color

Mine is just a very young plant, but I hope it has the color
of your flower. The next blooming might just be perfect.

It's very cute, even without the staminode shield.
