Tiny plant, tiny flower. It is growing on me the more I look at it.

Nice alba form.

Lovely one, I like it very much. It seems to be a first flowering and single growth plant. So keep it alive after flowering. I know from my own experince that they put a lot of, sometimes too much energy in the flower.

Nice form. The darker green staminode contrasts nicely with the rest of the flower.

Very nice colour and form (nicely proportioned) of P. fowliei fma. album!

Nice, thanks for sharing. I have a few of them but they keep blasting the buds!

Special place in my heart for alba flowers. Very nice.

Thanks everyone. I will look forward to seeing how it does when more mature.

GuRu- correct, this is a single growth plant and a small one. Would it be a good idea to go ahead and cut the flower now? I do not mind if it is not too late to remove stress and improve chances of the plant doing well going forward. It does not have the start of a new growth yet, so I would definitely like to minimize stress.

Hello Tom, generally to cut the flower is a good method to avoid stress for the plant and in this special case, with a single growth and small plant I would think its a must, at least in my eyes, to keep the plant alive.
