Cool! Show us some of that foliage! Looks like an enormous clump.

I like this species a lot. Too bad the one I had expired!

I'm a bit on the fence about green flowers, but I certainly
do like this one...even if I can't properly pronounce the name. The red petals are a very nice addition to the look
of the flower.

That has a wonderful pouch!

 

[Kawarthapine]

Very nice colour. Thanks for posting.

PS. Send some of that heat our way...

...we had snow this morning!

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice!

I do love this species. It's time to re-think picking one up.
PS. The pouch color is more on the yellow side then green. Will that be true for this clone as well?

Is that the plant in the background!?

 

[brasphrag]

Yes it is, the flower spike get a little curved.

Very nice!

How much light do you give this?

 

[brasphrag]

A lot of light, full sun at morning and 30% shadow for the rest of the day. This can be made by the position of the pot.

Thanks! I've heard this species likes a lot of light. I'll give mine as much as I can.
