Here is an older besseae that branches

Looks really great! Pretty hard to tell if it's Phrag. besseae or Phrag. dalessandroi...

That is nice, I didn't think they branched.

There is an OZ cross that is Phrag. besseae, and branches. It is often confused as a Phrag. dalessandroi...

But personally, I think this one is a Phrag. dalessandroi...

Very nice! Are the flowers really that small, or is that a trick of the eye?

Wow, so pretty, not to familar with phrag's, is this a mini?

Nice to see the old standbye, looks like a tall spike too. How old do they have to be before they branch? Thanks for sharing.

This plant is a piece from a freind. The flower is not as wide as the newer besseae's but is almost as long. The colour is not right due to my room was very hot when it started to bud. The next flowers should be better as it gets colder in there now. I looked at the stamiode and it is very pointed. Which suggest it is a besseae. I think.
I have a bessesa"Blackfalls" that is branching also but the spike and stem are no way as big or thick.
