late niveum

fibre · Dec 3, 2011

Since this plant was damaged by an invasion of flower thrips some years ago, it tries to flower all year round. That's quite a nice touch, but I would prefer to see all its flowers at the same time

. So I will give it a stronger rest this winter. I think, this will help.

Very nice! Beautiful shape.

It must be a very big plant to have blooming year-around!

Relatively big petals on this flower. And is that a pink blush to the dorsal?

Oh yes, it is! I have it for more than twenty years on my windowsills. It survived all my mistakes I did over the years. It is a quite robust niveum for sure!
I like to have big plants!

The pink plush is at the backside of the dorsal. It is shining through.

I would prefer to get one great flower show once a year instead of one flower all year long. That's the same reason why I don't like the Cochlos.

Good to hear, that your niveum compot is nicely comin along. Good luck for the coming winter!

A flowering niveum can never be late.

I think it's gorgeous and I hope I can keep mine alive this winter.

I can understand your wish, fingers crossed that it will get true some day.

No, it isn't a large flower. NS=7cm, Dorsal is 4,4 cm and Patals are 3,5cm broad
