Nice flower Candace. Any idea on what triggered the flowering?

No idea. And the other siblings aren't showing any signs of blooming.

 

[shakkai]

Very nice flowers! Definitely worth the wait! Such nice clear striping. I hope you get to see the others flower sometime soon!!

 

[Ross]

Well done, Candace! :clap: The plant appears quite compact. For reference, what size is the pot?

...Any idea on what triggered the flowering?

you threatened to send it to my house, didn't you?

 

[Candace]

For reference, what size is the pot?

I believe it's a 4" pot. The niveum does keep the growths compact.

Dear Candace,
congratulations.
It is really nice to see this beautiful hybrid which I named many years ago for the village where I live, Mietenkam a part of Grassau sout of Munic. My plant needs around 8 years to come in flower, but 3 year later i lost it.

Best greetings

Olaf

Now that's a history lesson!

 

[Candace]

Very cool, Olaf. I didn't know you were the one who hybridized and registered this one.

So...8 years is kind of the magic number for this one. Ouch :>

 

[rdlsreno]

Very nice Candace!

Olaf -- your cross and you only kept one plant???

 

[Ayreon]

Very very nice!

 

[Mrs. Paph]

What a nice surprise after such a long wait! Very nice flower! Maybe now that it's decided to bloom once, future bloomings won't be so few and far between? They are really nice blooms though, so that one may be worth it's space even with reluctant blooms.
