First time flowering for me. Didn't realise how small the flower was on this species. Cute still the same.

Hmm.. The flower does look small compared to how thick the stem is... but congrats nevertheless.. Druryi is not an easy species to grow and flower...
'Great' but apparently small flower!!! What size is it? Is it still opening? If I compare to the tiny druryi plant I have, the size must be lt 5cm!! Jean
The flower has finished opening Jean. The flower is 5.5 cm across by 5 cm long which when I look up the description for this species is about normal. The flower is very tight with little lateral spread of the petals or dorsal.
Maybe it is bit like fairrieanum. I'd see these incredible imposing photos of it and assume the flowers were huge. Then when I flowered my first one I was amazed how small it was.
I wonder if the difficulty in flowering this species is due to not enough light. I grow mine very bright alongside my multi-florals.
