Always in bloom, I really like that specie....
Hummm.. I've seen plants labelled as hirtzii many years ago but have no remembence of their details! We have a show coming up in April, I'll keep my eyes out for this one.
I see that now. ThanksIt also differs from longifolium by the lack of dark hairs on the staminoid.

Yours is really nice. I like the twists in the petals. Please let me now when you have a division.
I have trouble blooming mine. Any suggestions? Mine is about 7-10 growths.

Most of my phrags are 'never in bloom'...it would be nice to have one that did!
Nice, Jean-Pierre. I'm finding this species difficult to grow. Do you have any secrets you could share?
Thanks! Most of my Phrags grow very well in Diatomite & CHC, but I think I'd better try a different media for hirtzii.Not much secret? I think the secret is only one Genus culture, quality water (rain water if it is possible), moss as substrate (never use coco with Phrag), good temp variation...
As an enthousiastic hybridor, I've got the chance to keep many seedling from my crosses and don't fight to much with the slow growers and fragiles one...
This selection with time, give me very easy growing plants use to grow in our northen conditions of cultutre. This is probably the secret!

I guess I'll have to check the pH. Maybe the diatomite keeps it more neutral?
