Not quite as good as phraggy's nicholle tower but seven blooms out at once is about as good as it gets for the 'remembrance' clone of Don Wimber.
I dragged the plant into the bathroom to try to find a neutral background as the spike is so tall (about a metre) it is tough to photograph.
This is the second big growth and the first large branched flower spike.
The plant seems to need two full sized growths before it will produce such a spike.

Dot,
patience may be what is needed!
It has taken about 5 years to grow to this size from a single smallish FS growth. I continue to break 'culture rules' with all the phrags. No leaching out of fertilizer- the plants sit in about 1cm of water year round and I use rain water plus low rate rain mix at every watering.
