Phal Ember begins again...

[Pilot]

I posted this flower before but wanted to give an update.

This is one of my favorite plants-- it has so many great aspect-- form, beauty, large blooms that are heavily scented in the warming sun of the morning-- so here it is, Phal Ember





I didn't know I was a purple flower fan (if you can call this purple) until I got this plant. The color is so eye-catching and rich. What I may have failed to photograph are the intricate spotting all over the petals, which add a splash of exoticism to the bloom. It lives up to its name of Ember by harboring the most brilliantly colored center I have ever seen on a phal. Finally, this plant brings the an intense sweet fragrance in the mid-morning hours-- just as the sun warms the solarium. Our dry Colorado air is transformed into the dewy-sweet air of Hawaii. It no-kidding makes my mouth water when I smell it-- so sweet and delicious!
