Stanhopea time! Female
Default Stanhopea time!

Yesterday, I got a double treat - Stanhopea oculata and Stanhopea wardii sprang to life within half an hour of each other. What fragrance! The S. oculata just gave me one spike, but 6 beautifully presented flowers. The S. wardii bloom not quite so well arranged, but that's because the spike was crowded in by a couple of other spikes, that won't open for another week or two. And there's one that should be opening about the time that the first one poops out. So no complaints here!

These bizarre flowers remind me of squids.
