Those are absolutely stunning, Philippe. Congratulations. This is another one of those species that I thought required cool and dry winters in order to flower successfully. Although you probably can't provide cool temperatures in your area of Thailand, do you provide drier conditions during the winter? How big is your plant? Do the blooms have any scent? Thank you for sharing the great pictures of this wonderful species.

Thanks Ted, Steve and Dounoharm.

Steve you're right, in Bangkok there is a drop of temperatures in winter but it is never really cold. I think that this specie can be grown in cool to hot environment. Anyway, I provide to this specie drier conditions from early December.
The canes are about 50 cm (20 inch) and flowers are fragant. About the name of this specie Tortilis is latin means winded up and Tortille in French means twisted, windep up.
