Phal Queen Beer
yep - it really does have that name. I have had this for years and blooms faithfully. This is the 2nd time within a year.

Could you post a closer pic of a flower? I want to see if it's the same as mine.
Thanks

Really beautiful, I love it!
rbarata, there are quite a few purple phals, it's probably impossible to be 100% sure from a picture even if yours looks identical.

Yes, I know but I was hoping to find some identical traces. Do you know any site where to find pics or some other type of help to identify purple phals? |

No, when I've tried searching for ones similar to something I have it's always been a hit & miss of looking at vendor's websites. I like to name my NoID's with a name similar, but not quite the same as something that looks similar (with a note on the tag that's is my made up name). I often search for ones like new ones I get, but have never found a good source of going about it. |

Mine was an offer and at the vendor's site there's not any phal like it...probably it was a seasonal variety.

a close-up. Blooms are about 2 inches across. Queen Beer are not that common anymore - large plant and relatively small flowers. On the upside, they have plenty of neon-coloured magenta/purple flowers and the larger/older ones can bloom more than once per year. Blooms are long-lasting.
