I hadn't even looked at the previous photos to compare so thank you for pointing this out as you are spot on! I was just focused on the dorsal and pouch.

Flowering again and similar to the second bloom again.

Becoming quite reliable, so I shall probably kill it before it gets chance to flower again!


And an in-toto picture for Jens and others!
