My sukhakuli is putting up a flower but the stem or stalk is not sturdy at ALL . It's over 2 inches long, and the first inch is solid, but then at the halfway point the stem and flower just flop over face down into the leaves. It looks like an upside down letter 'U'.
Adding to my anxiety, I don't know how long it takes for sukhakuli to open. It's been 2 weeks (feels like 2 months, you know...) and just a little bit of the top hood petal is lifting up so it looks from the side like a mouth starting to open but the side petals of the flower haven't stretched open or begun to uncross yet.
I know I'm probably just being a Nervous Nelly, but as an inexperienced grower, the few flowers I've enjoyed in the past all had very sturdy stems. Am I just being impatient, or is something else going on?
Thanks for your wisdom,
Chris
