Arundina graminofolia 'Tony'

[Greenpaph]

Currently in bloom. I have had this plant for 4 years and this is the first time it has bloomed. I moved it to full sun with the phrags.

full plant

Nice Arundina, Peter..! Yours has nice solid colour, but the petals are a bit cupped though.. Just opened? Maybe the flower will flatten out.. I think your Arundina can take more light. Here we don't just give them phrag light, we grow them with arandas and Mokaras, which take full blast of the tropical sun...

Nice Peter! We can actually grow those locally since they can take a bit of frost. I agree they can take full on sun.

That's a pretty cool flower.

Looks like it should have religious significance. I can see a cross and a church spire (During Lent)

Thanasis, Arundinas do not have fragrance... Very slight, if any...
