I do think it's magnificient, but no pink bracts so definitely not magnifica.
I don't care, I love it anyway. This is the first time it's bloomed since 05.
So much rain this winter and spring that it flooded the g house and this plant and
many others sat in water. It was so happy to have ample moisture that it rewarded me with these flowers. Wish they were a darker pink, not enough sun where it was sitting.
An overall picture.
Most of the ones I've seen pics of have flower clusters that tend to hang down, I'm not sure if yours just haven't flopped over yet, in which case it could be one of several possibilities (cumingii, speciosa, myriantha, or probably some others I'm not familiar with), or if they really are more upright then I'm not sure which it is, the only one I know with more upright flowers is M. scortechinii, but it has orangey flowers. You'll have to Google for pics of M. myriantha but the others all have pics here in PF if you want to check them out http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=medinilla&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search
Ecrane, As the blooms get heavier, they do flop over. Thanks for the link.
I'll check it out.
