Kolopakingii topperi (not an alba)

[Rick]

Ron's topperi finished blooming. For a first time bloomer on a single growth I think it looks pretty good. 5 blooms on the spike.

Excellent!

Gorgeous! You got a nice one! I ended up getting the topperi from Kyle that he offered and was happy with it too. I cut the spike as it was a single growth, first time bloomer and it's promptly sent out two new growths.:clap:

They are still going and the oldest flower has been open for about 2 or 3 weeks, but there is some browning on the bracts and petal tips going on.

I am quite pleased with this plant. I know albinos are rarer, but I'm more attracted to darker color flowers anyway.

The nominal forms always seem more vigorous too. This plant looks to have a couple of new growth buds forming.

I think you did good, Rick.

I think you did good, Rick.

Thanks. I did make a great purchase, but Ron needs to get the growing credits on this one.
