warneri

In bloom in Brazil are these 3 lovely alba flowers of one of my favourite species. I named it ‘Holy Trinity’ because it has 3 angelic flowers on a tall stem, reminding me of the divinity of Mother Nature.

My plant flowering in Brazil, awaiting papers for immigration lol. Beautiful tipo warneri with flares on all five extremities.

A new growth just bursted out 3 flowers eventhough it bloomed 8 months ago. Still adjusting to a new hemisphere I guess lol. It’s so breathtaking still…
