My apartment is hot in summer 25-32C, and warm in its section in winter (no lower than 18-20C). I water constantly every 3-4 days. Never really dry.Wondering how you grow it. Have seen it in the wild and can say it was oppressively hot and humid in the day and was just uncomfortable and sweaty at night. Is your apartment like Manaus or is this more tolerant of lower temps than my experience in habitat?
This flower has the best representation in the color saturation in this category. There will be others that are lighter in coloration or have smaller flares.Leslie, with only a single eldorado/wallisii alba selfing to my name, I only know this species flower by what I see online. The shape of your flower seems ideal, but the color combination of semi-alba with flamea and strong yellow in the labellum looks pretty unique to me. How unusual is the coloration in your much broader experience?
Hehe I think I’ll divided the plant into 3. That way I’ll have a couple backups.Oh God, I think we would have to soak that root system for 24 hours and go through a bottle of wine while attempting to gently get that root system back into a pot, but 2 new growths , and flowering. Well done. Very rich depth of color.
Just opening! My most precious plant.
