Phrag Saint Eligius

Phrag. [St. Ouen x schlimii]

As usual, not the best photo. I thought I detected a light fragrance this AM, kind of between a rose and raspberry.

The flower in the back came out more focused than the one you were aiming for.

Ya, thanx

if you get a chance to get a dark/black velvet cloth, it's be a good background.
nice flower, though...

I'll try to take a some better photos later, instead of rushed on my way to work.

 

[likespaphs]

right on, man!

Oh yeah! I like that white one, what is it?
Your picture is making me feel better about my photo skills!

Would this be one to consider crossing to the plant you're expecting any day from ebay?

A quick fix would be to put your hand behind the bloom - cameras can tend to focus on the thing taking up most of the picture, in this case the background. Something directly behind the flower will get the camera to focus closer.

The white one behind it is an Ice Princess - [pearceixSt.Ouen]. I am trying to cross an album Sarah Eadie w/ a purplish plant to make purple phrag. BTW My camera is cursed and I will try to exorcize it this All Hallows. :wink:

Thanks Eric, I do like Ice Princess & a purple phrag sounds good too ........ hmmmm ........ kovachii????
I also like your camera comment, I'm going to use that one!

 

[NYEric]

It's funny, but I don't think I've ever seen a Pk. flower in person, I hope it's purple.

Better flower picture. It's a lot like a Hanne Popow but not as rounded pouch and has no real fragrance.
