wow that plant is amazing. 4n maybe?
either way you have this species dialed in.

love viet. i need a flask.
 
The only thing I don't like about the plant is its bloom duration. One waits every year to see its only for maximum of two weeks if lucky. But foliage makes up for it I guess.

So true, and unfortunately this trait is dominant in Ho Chi Minh it seems.
It adds size, color and prettier leaves than delenatii alone would, but then the flower life span is so short.

By the way, it's very interesting how it opens up!
 
Yesterday, October 5th. It starts to open, next to its brother that is fully expanded and will drop soon.

Wow, please post shots when it is fully open. Are such short flower stalks typical of this species? I grow HCM and it always has much longer ones, like delenatii.

Yes and no. These are shorter than normal, but they do not stretch much either. The one that is fully expanded (the small one) I would say has a stalk shorter than normal. I'll bet the big ones stalk will grow a bit so that it presents the flower better.
 
Here you are Dot; a "daffodil" picture from yesterday Oct. 8th.
