Congrats, Leslie. The colouration of this flower seems to be very intense and dark.

I hate, hate, hate, hate.......

Nice and dark. I am impressed by the overall health of all of the plants in the photos.

Leslie, don t break ,my heart....I have a nice plant, first time in my life i could get with this to budding stage, and silly of mine i broke its stem when i try to lift my insigne sandeare for a photo....i tried to find some reason of this accident with getting some spirit.( i mean alcohol)

 

[tomkalina]

So far so good as far as color. Recommend staking that stem though.

Dear Friend, can you update please your wonderful tigrinum?As I see it has some peloristic character...

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Here you go Istvan!

Looks like petals still curled at ends, possibly pelorism?

I love it. Unique. Still opening, yes?
The pot you have it sitting in for the photo…where did that come from? I think I have one.

I think it’s still opening… possibly … it’s been 4 days.

That pot was a gift so not sure of the origin?
