Purchased in low spike so can't take much credit for this. This is the first flower to open.
 
This spike is fully out now. 8 flowers in total.20190324_152424-1.jpg20190324_152439-1.jpg20190324_152455-1.jpg

I like it but not sure how I feel about the fading. Wondering if it should have been somewhere shadier to open?
 
After the first flowers faded on this spike I treated the nodes with keiki paste hoping to grow a couple of spare plants, however I just got more flower spikes at this point. One of the buds looked strange and it opened today to reveal this,

It's best described as a semi double flower I think though it appeared more like a fascinated bloom in bud.
I guess the keiki paste has triggered something unusual.
