Not the best flowering of this plant but it was stuck in a corner while back. More light will produce better blooms. Bad Papa here

Nice photos!
a bit shrivelled, too
Yes lol… warneris always look like they’re dying when in bloom
.Leslie, have a talk with that dorsal before the next blooming. A good, CLOSE talk might
do the trick.

What are those black spots on the leaves?
Not sure…. Probably due to cold.doesn’t seem to bother the plant or surrounding neighbors.
Leslie,
Love the intense colour on the lip. Could there be a root problem that has caused the shrivelling?

I haven’t noticed it ever being robust with fat bulbs in this cultivar (or many of my warneris). I’m sure it can do better. But it’s my experience that warneris are always shriveled when in bloom even in its home Brazil.
Anyone notice this too?
I‘ll check mine when they flower. Too early yet. I didn’t notice it last year when ‘graue’ flowered.
so do the plants recover their plump bulbs later in the year?

The old bulbs somewhat do plump up after but the new one grows fat.
