This is my division from Peter that I got last summer. Originally from Al's. I'm very much looking forward to having this in bloom throughout the summer.

Mine is still in bloom and the spike is extra extra long about 4+ ft long and it had to be staked.

I was just checking my ceiling clearance this morning, actually! :D
Thanks Pete, it's a lovely plant!

Looking good! Let me know how big the flower gets, ok? The mother plant is still in bloom on a very long spike. I'm glad you like it.

Now we are talking! I am sure without the back lighting that the flower is a richer red! Nice! We thank you for your patience!

Mmm, yes, thanks - weather down here is wretched, as opposed to up north where it is ....wretched.

I must go to bed - more tomorrow, will try for pics when it is sunny - please forgive my spelling for the next few days, I have a new laptop and it is more compact in the keyboard area,,,if I don;'t got to bed I'll be up all night configuring it. :roll:

I am practicing self-control.
LOL!!! (!!)

I have a hard enough time with a regualr keyboard, let alone a laptop, or even better those little blackberry text messengers or even my cell phone. Nice photo Heather! Good self restraint! :poke:

I think that is one of my better photos, the second cropped one (sans pine pollen) don't you? Wendy inspired me, this afternoon. :clap:

Love IE on a blue background, just love it!
And yes, surprise! 2 blooms - I was keeping it a secret until I could get a photo that was decent enough to post.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. It's beautiful. I just ordered Inca Embers from Al and it should arrive on Wednesday.

I have a phrag 'Mary Bess' in bloom now with 8 flowers and 2 buds. It is still quite a small plant with one stem with all those flowers. I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet. Maybe some day???????????

If you need some help, let me know, I'd be happy to coach!

Glad you like the IE - it is from Al's also!

Tadd - you are hilarious!!! And my photo skills suck, but thanks all the same! :love:
