Phrag mem. Dick Clements
 

Well here it is. After many months of finger crossing and hoping for a decent first bloom my beautiful mem Dick Clements has now bloomed and what a beauty if I do say so myself! She is lovely and I am especially pleased that her first bloom was not deformed in any way.

Beautiful! Great photos also.

Thank you Tucker85! I only have a camera phone and I wasn't too sure abut the quality of the photos.

Beautiful!!! Great job growing it. For a camera phone those are very good shots.

Thank you very much Camille! I only took about 150 shots trying to get the perfect shot!! I am still fiddling about with it but I am definitely going ot get a grown up camera this year.

Even with a good camera you still need to take a lot of shots before you get that perfect photo. For every good one I post on OB, I took another 20-30 of them, fiddling around with different settings.

Oh, so that's where I've been going wrong then! lol. Previously I would just point and shoot and hope that it was good enough :D. I have only about 10 different settings on my phone and most of them I can't decipher yet!

I will be taking no less than 30 from now on, even if it's just to see if I have a new root or shoot!!

Gorgeous flower! Very delicate looking.

Thank you JaneEyre. I am hoping that I might be able to detect a scent soon but I suppose that would be too much to ask.

very nice,I don't think there will be any fragrance
