Bulbo grandiflorum

[Rick]

This is a good size flower that will just about cover your hand. I hope its going into a bloom fest since its growing like a weed, and there's an awful lot of plant for just one flower.

Wild flower on these. It reminds me of some sea creature.

Here you go. Hand for scale. I have a Vanda roebelingii propped up in it for support:rollhappy:.



I tossed some bone meal on it this winter and just got a bunch more growth. Another single flower about a month ago. I'll toss some more BM on it again and see what happens.

It's done it in the past. Bulbo blooms don't last that long, and one year it had 7 blooms open at the same time:wink:

That's a really cool flower.

If that plant decides to put out more blooms, it will be quite a show!
