I was surfing that website and read a new phrag species was discovered. It's listed as Phrag. sp. nov. I love the flower in the photo. There's even a shot of this new species with Phrag. fischeri next to it. The flower looks to be slightly larger than fischeri. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen these photos and what you thought of it?

Thanks, Barb

P.S. I hope it's okay I posted this question here. :)

Barbara -
of course it is okay! Can you give us a link though so we don't have to search? Big site, I'm lazy! Rob's a member here, so he might also have additional insight. yay!

Thanks!

That's good to hear!

Here's the link that will take you directly to the photos:

I hope it works!

Oh yeah, that's the newbie!
I'm unfortunately having a momentary memory loss and can't recall the "name" but it starts w/ an "A" andretii (perhaps?) Named for an older gent, a good man down in Peru -- am I making this up? :confused:

I'd like to see a fresher bloom....I'm picky, I know....

Kyle will know for sure! ;)

I remember Kyle posting info and pics of that species here on the forum not too long ago.

Thanks!! I'll search for it now!
