Ah, that's a shame.

Nice. Is it in flower now, or was that earlier in the season?

@Dr. L - Without a doubt this plant is “just” a form of the widespread C. macranthos. Similar plants can be seen in nearby Russia and northern China, though on mainland Asia things are confounded by the presence of C. calceolus and the natural hybrid C. x ventricosum (C. calceolus x C...

Last week my wife and I got to visit Rebun Island, northernmost of Japan's islands and home to C. macranthos f. rebunense. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the wild colony because the flowers had passed, and it is strictly controlled so I couldn't gain access legally. I did get a couple...

Wow. 'Tis the season!

That's a nice flower count. I look back on my poor beleaguered plant, and all I can say is mea culpa!

Never met a stonei I didn't like.

Indeed, that lip is lovely. Beautifully grown and flowered too.

That is a lovely flower. Nice pic too.

Beautiful. Lovely location as well. Reminds me of my childhood.

Your experience mirrored mine when I lived in Gainesville for nearly 20 years (and that ended 20 years ago!) I got a modest division mounted on a small treefern "pole" and it grew like a weed. Then I got one of those big tree fern pots that were common in the day, inverted it, drilled a hanger...

That's a LOOOOOONNNNNNG wait!

This little guy flowers religiously this time of year. I'm not complaining! Found up to 1500 meters elevation, I almost want to try this one outside, but recent winters have me thinking better of it.

Insanely dark!

Count me in as well. Really does look so much like henryanum. Can't get enough of that dorsal sepal.

Love it! Want it!

Gorgeous!

I have a couple from flask that I've been growing for AGES. So much for optimal culture... I think you are getting close. My biggest one is just a tad smaller than yours. Maybe this year yours will bloom, mine more like next year.

Here it is on the 35th day of full flower. The older flower seems to be hanging in there. Not sure what prompted the other one to fall off. Once the older flower falls off, then outside it goes again. I'm contemplating putting it into new medium this year. Currently it is in a mix of...

Rick, I love the down swept petals. I don't know why I love this look, but I have to admit I prefer it to more laterally held ones. Great color too.
