Mormodes lawrenceana and Mormodes paraensis

[kavanaru]

These two beauties are currently in bloom at my place... M. lawrenceana is a reliable bloomer with a great fragrance...
M. paraensis is blooming for the first time for me. I was expecting the flowers would open more, but not sure for which reason the seem to stay pretty "closed"... However, since I have not seen this species in bloom before, I can not say whether this is normal or not for the species...
