This one is a photo with some months, it bloomed in March.

It is really a beauty (sorry to say this about my own plants, but I love it )

Beautiful flowers, Tricho. How big of a pot is your plant growing in? I have a cross of Grace Dunn x Rebecca Northern, but it's a very small plant (the largest of the two mature and leafless bulbs is approximately 2 centimeters tall x 1.5 centimeters in diameter). Hopefully the growth that the plant is producing this year will flower next spring. Does your plant have fragrant flowers? Thank you for sharing your picture.

Steve

Mine is about 7 cm x 3 cm. Rebecca is a little smaller. But I have some friends with bigger plants, it also depends on the amount of light they are getting.

Thank you for the answers to my questions, Tricho. Looks like my plant has a little more growing to do before it gets to flowering size. It is getting lots of light, though: approximately four to five hours of direct morning sun, followed by very "bright shade" for the rest of the day. Hopefully it will respond well to my treatment and be happy enough to flower next spring (or the next...).

Very beautiful. The flowers look so pristine. I don't see these too much in parts. What are the growing conditions for these lovelies?
