A wonderful start to the month!
It's so amazing to me how many different flower forms there on in the Bulbo. family...I'm surprised the Boffins haven't subdivided the group and given everyone a new name to remember.
Those Dens are a spectacle when they go from bare sticks to full bloom...just gorgeous!
Tara, is your Phal. blooming on a secondary spike or did it just send out a random spike recently? Mine always bloomed around December after a little chill in the fall. How wonderful that you still have the plant that started all the fun of growing these rewarding plants!
I put up a picture yesterday of a NOID that just bloomed for me..I also sent an email to Kawamoto..as that was likely where it came from. They almost instantly responded that it was Slc. Jewelers Art 'Waiomao Plum' HCC/AOS. When I looked back through the depths of my vintage computer I found the original journal entry with the details that I bought it in bloom and the date.
So going back through my photos found this..
and my picture from yesterday
I'm comfortable with the ID...but do want to let this one bloom again to see if the next set of blooms looks more normal... and in the meantime will quarantine this plant with another that is in question.
