A great, well-grown example of this underrated species.

The petals seem iridescent like rainbow trout!

Good reference! Great plant and blooms!

Thanks everyone.

This one is doing great David. What's the flower span?

12 cm's Rick. Not huge. I flowered a wardii seedling last year that was bigger but no where near as beautiful as this one.

May I ask what your lighting was?

May I ask what your lighting was?

Nothing but natural light. I take them outside under the pergola in shade. There is no direct sunlight on them. I've been pretty happy with this setup so have never experimented with lights or flashes.

Wonderful. Thanks! I'm about to set up a natural light flowerportrait set in my new greenhouse, a la yours, Dot. I'm looking forward to having it there and always handy.

Sounds even better. At least you don't have to worry about the wind.

A very nice wardii. Did you get this from Kevin Hipkins. All his plants bear his "Royale" name.
Please self it. There are wardii but not many good wardii.

Thanks Howard. No, I actually got this division off John Robertson. I assume he got if off Kevin.

Actually, I have a problem with my fans. Although they are on a rheostat, I can't turn them off. I think I have to consult my electrician!
