Sanderianum in low bud

[dodidoki]

I grow this for 6 years, finally in low bud.

It looks like a real one...The ID should be confirmed in 4 weeks.

It looks like the head of a wee duck

Nice. Did you post flowers?

Nice. Did you post flowers?

I am interested in the flowers too but I think it is too early for that...the flower spike will take 4-5 weeks to develop.

Looking good. Keep us posted.

Looking forward to pics of it opening!

Kind of looked blasted in the first pic... Maybe next year. They start to grow pretty well once they get to flowering size.

No!!!!! An absolute slaughter. Let's all take a moment of silence. A shame

and that is why I don't get too excited when things are in spike/bud...posting a photo will just jinx myself. This has happened to quite a few members lately who posted the bud/spike photos...

Should do better as the plant gets bigger.

I grow it for more than 5 years....that is why i was excited....and my fav. slipper with anitum....another "easy" plant...

Just wait another year and a half, you will see the spike again...for previously bloomed sanderianum, the new growth normally will take longer than a year to mature. Good luck with the next spike!
