This one is really cute - I didn't really like it at first, but now I love it; it looks great with all the blooms open and it smells like hyacinth in the morning.

Adorable lil flower --- too bad it doesn't open more fully. But nice coloration and shape.

Very nice!
Mine bloomed in March, but they are really young plants, so didn't have quite as many flowers as you have!

That's gorgeous, Calvin! I love it! What a cutie. It appears to be a pretty small plant, no? Might have to look into these...

Wonderful flowers and wonderful pics of them

I like they way they don't open fully, I think they look really graceful from that side view.

WOW.... I used to have Laeliopsis Domingoense. I loved that one. That was years ago in Australia though.

If you can set seed on that beauty Calvin, PLEASE, count me in. I would love a sample.

Thanks everyone! Definitely a small guy. I was a little dissapointed with the flowers not opening fully, but when they are all 'open', it actually looks kind of nice.
Brett - I'll try fertilizing some of these and see where it goes!
