Rhynchostylis retusa

Very excited to see this species in bud. Rhy retusa bloom in the summer - later than its cousin Rhy gigantea that typically bloom in late winter (February)

Can you do a close-up of the flowers? Interesting way of growing this plant.

bigleaf · Jun 28, 2016

Flowers not open yet. Will update photo when these open.

No it's not supposed to grow upside down. I fixed it today

Update on flowers.
Rhynchostylis retusa

It's interesting to note that buds at the end of spike opened first. Not sure if this is normal since it's my first time flowering this species.

Sweet dreamy!

Thank you all. I can't wait for this to get huge and producing clumps of basal Keiki and flowering on several spikes.

That's nice. Glad you rescued it before it tried to slip out of the greenhouse. :rollhappy:

Color is noticeably darker now and flowers are fragrant.

Lanmark · Jul 6, 2016
