Gorgeous! Mine is in bud, but the buds keep blasting. I think I am letting it dry out too much. What temps do you keep this one at?

The lower winter temps are 19 C
Summer temps are for sure over 25C .
The plants is mounded on a stick of wood.
I keep it a little dry for the winter, when it has stop the growth and the flowers.
Now has flower stem,new leave growth and many new roots. It is so difficult to take a real good photo of the flower.It is much more beautiful and delicate,like porcelain and the spots are so unigue!

I have had success in flowering this one before, but I think I am just keeping it too dry this summer. Mine is mounted on a piece of wood as well inside a terrarium.
