Can you post a pick of the whole plant, with the leaves/bulbs(?).

Picture from yesterday, when only some flowers open :

And bulb (tuber) is growing in the soil, so no picture

wow, that is gorgeous!

Excellent! How warm and sunny does it need to be for the flowers to open?

Warm... when the plant starts to flwer, I take it in my house, means around 22-24°C during the night...

And for the sun... well... this specie flower during the night here, so I think temperature is more important than sun

You mean it's warmer at night? Interesting to know why it isn't open during the day

 

[orchidsworld]

I don't know the temperatures in my house lol

But now it's 8am, and the flowers start to close...

That's a beautiful show:clap::clap::clap:


How big are the flowers?

Interesting. It's almost as if it remembers when it's neighbors would be flowering in Australia and they've kept the synchronization (quantum entanglement )

Wonderful plant, thanks for sharing pictures!

Never heard of this genus before, but wow! Great colour and great photos!

Spectacular pics. The colour reminds me of iris.

Lovely flowers! It seems that the most desirable orchids we wish for are those we can't get or can't flower.:drool:

Hear hear! :evil:

(For me it's Masdevallia veitchiana :sob:
