Well, so this starts when I got another
Nervilia punctata earlier this year, since my last was killed by "mysterious Nervilia rot"...
It went well, and I unpotted 2 tubers at dormancy. Well, immediately after that, one of them sprouted just after supposedly "going dormant"!! And guess what it grew into!
Description:
Stalk: 14cm from the base to the tip of the floral bract.
Flower: 3 cm from the tip of the lip to the end of the ovary. The lip is 2.5 cm x 1 cm, and has a callous running along the middle. No fragrance.
Flower close-up
There is one more tuber, still asleep but doing well.
I don't think I'll pollinate this one, I don't know how long the flower will last, whether the seeds will germinate on cardboard, or if it can even be pollinated with itself and produce viable seed.
I don't Understand Nervilia! (flowers!)
