Not really my work, got the plant only 2 weeks ago with some buds. The flowers open quickly.

I must try to get myself some of these.

Nice flowering. That's a huge plant (number of growths); I'm surprised you could find such a large one for sale.

 

[SlipperFan]

Oh oh! A new one for my wish list!

Nice photos. I especially like the first one.

 

[NYEric]

Good choice!

Well I just ordered one and get this nice plant. It´s a good nursery.

Great purchase- fabulous large plant and gorgeous blooms. We all want one now!

very nice, and nice to see the potential for multiple flowers. I can't tell from the second photo, but are there more than one flower on some of the flower spikes? this species likes to be pretty bright, breezy and dry out a bit between waterings. mine actually opened a new flower a few days ago

I know where there might be some of these available next may!

Spectacular blooming!

Yes, one spike has 4 flowers now, the other one 2.

 

[cnycharles]

cool. I had thought that the spikes could have more than one flower or have consecutive flowers, but have never had more than one at a time

this species likes to be pretty bright, breezy and dry out a bit between waterings.

If I look at the cork where the plant is mounted i found different types of living mosses, so I think this plant never dried out. Looks like it was kept in high humidity, watered once a day and got enough light.

It's a good size one for sure.
