Default bowringiana flower

the spikes got fouled up so I cut the flowers off..Had 1 nice one of 10. Another sheath not opening situation. I was trying to leave it alone and I lef it alone too long

next time you purple monster!! I have never seen a more purple flower and Ive seen alot of shades of purple. This is the deepest purple I have seen and why you find bowringiana at the base of a lot of purple catts..


inside no lights.

outside with light shinin thru it.

It is sometimes difficult to reproduce true purple colours, Flowers open well.
