Cynorkis angustipetala (aka Cynorkis guttata)
This specimen bloomed without being potted up properly, it is still in its storage container that I used for its dormancy, but I have started watering it already. There are 2 tuberoids in this container. The second one is just pushing out a spike. If all goes well, I expect the second one to bloom in about one month.
It is being grown in the bathroom about 4 or 5 feet away from a south facing window.
This species has a curious habit of growing a spike first, then the leaf.

I apologize for the orientation of the photo, I don't know how to fix that.

I think you have to fix it before you post it. Usually right click on photo then follow prompts "turn clockwise" until picture is right. The flowers are so fresh and dainty. Very pretty. |
