Your plants look so healthy. Foliage on my hartmannii doesn't look so pretty. I thought by putting it in a planter it wouldn't be in way of the workers but it still got a little rough-handled and caught some spray paint too. But if it was still happy enough to try to flower, I'll take it!

My fitzgeraldii looks everything but healthy. The Kulnura’s do. I had them side by side on a bench. The fitzgeraldii suffered from sunburn where the Kulnura’s didn’t.
I had mine outdoors until night temperatures dipped consistently below 10C Apparently that was enough chill to get them blooming.
