This henryanum is the first non-Maudiae hybrid that I have flowered from flask. Six and a half years ago I ordered a few flasks (henryanum, fairieanum, helenae, translienianum and a Maudiae flask) from Taiwan. This is the first plant to flower from any of those flasks. Six and a half years and this is the fastest grower!!! I have a few others in bud from these flasks although I think this is the only henryanum that will flower this year. Given how much abuse they have received over the years it is a testament to how hardy they are that they have survived let alone flowered. The change in fertiliser over the last 2 years saw a dramatic improvement in these seedlings.
The last two photos are of another henrynum I have flowered a few times now. It is a much larger chunkier flower but not as nicely coloured as the first one.
