Just bought this & it was already in flower.
It,s an Eric Young Foundation plant & i expected something special.
I,m not dissapointed.
Actual cross is Phrag mem Dick Clements"Trinity" 4n x Phrag longifolium 4n.
Leaves are over 28" long but a lot thinner than my Phrag SA.
The flowering growth & the new growths were about 6" above the medium
so i,ve repotted a lot deeper in s/h.Flower size is 4 1/2".

Leaf span is about 36" but the leaves are bit scruffy as it got bunched up in delivery.
Height of the fan is 18" or so & the spike is 42" high (it,s the fourth flower) so fairly big.
Compared to my Phrag SA it,s compact & bijou.

That is fabulous, excellent colour, btw don't you also own that monstrous Phrag SA? No wonder you say it is compact :)

Yep.Phragenstein is just started blooming on a new spike(it,s 45" high already)

I like the term Phragenstein :lol: :lol:

The color is 4n xtra red, and I like the spotting on the inside of the pouch.
