Default Discarded Paphina decided to bloom


I had given up hope for this little bugger. It looked so bad that I took it off my inventory list and stuck the pot behind my bulbos.

I happened to see a little bit of red, and look what I found. Maybe the thought of being discarded made it bloom. It should be beautiful in a few days when it opens up completely.

Oh it's beautiful Marilyn, I'd love to have it. Gotta get me one of these some day.
Enjoy the blossoms you earn them

Aww .. you ignored it and it wanted your attention!
Looks like it got it
(You must have scared it to bloom when it figured you considered it was a goner)

If you stuck it behind the bulbos maybe it just needed the same growing environment. Does it belong to the bulbo family group. Never heard of it tho very nice.
