blooming beauty

Post by daiv »

Here is one that is very difficult to capture on film because it just glows!

Got to be some hybrid. We started a piece from off a plant that someone in our neiborhood had in their yard.

Well this one has put on only a few really long stems, so not much. It doesn branch near as much as the other epis do.

After this bloom, I'm going to repot and restart several stems in the pot to make it more full.

That's a nice one Daiv. Love how it glows. Is that the only bud?

No Mark, there was actually 5 open at one time when I checked them this morning before work. The flowers seem to last about 2 and 1/2 days.
