[Rescued] Sarcochilus Kulnura Tight

[bernardomantas97]

Hey everyone!

About 2 months ago, I rescued a Sarcochilus Kulnura Tight (Kulnura Fancy 'Red Edge Early' x Kulnura Firemist 'On Arch') from a big-box store. The poor thing was swimming in a mixture of coconut coir and a liquid I couldn't imagine ever being water. There were 3 flower stalks, 2 of which were getting droopy, and a rotting crown on one of the newest growths. I never imagined it would survive, and against every single thought in my mind I ended up bringing it home for 4.99€.

Fast forward these past weeks, after intensive surgery cutting away everything rotten, repotting and fertilizing, lo and behold the surviving stalk is now in bloom!
The flowers are lightly scented, a fragrance I would describe as cherry blossom-y with a hint of candy, and there are some white markings on the otherwise ripe-cherry-red petals and sepals.

Enjoy!
