It was sprayed with miticide and survived. Sadly emersonii bud did rot. Malipoense bud is still growing despite miticide and being turned over by my dog.

Wow! Nice flower and photos.

Awesome.

How big is your plant?

It is a first blooming for this plant. There are two mature growths, the larger one is currently blooming, and the third one just started when bud appeared.

Amazing bloom!!!

Congratulations.

beautiful flower!!! good growing!

I love bellatum, and yours is nice! Please post a pic once the bloom flattens out, so I can properly drool over it! :)
