I’ve had this vietnamense for about 4 years now (OI select) and it has tried blooming twice before. Each time it blasted and was such a trip for me.
This time it has passed the critical stage and about to open!! Third time lucky?!
Just peeking inside I see dark petals and a very round dark red pouch … big expectations for it as ‘Halo Be Thy Name’ was similar too.
Here she is, unfolding!!! Wish her luck!

And oh yeah, I ignored it like it wasn’t there from the beginning… like the others lol. This is the first time I touched it.
They hate being watched daily! And will spontaneously implode if anyone gets too close as they are wayyyyy too shy
