Congrats, blooms are amazing!! How big is your plant if you don't mind me asking??? Just trying to figure out how many more decades I have to wait till mine will bloom for me.

I like the green-ness of the flowers. Looks great!

Beautiful and great growing!!!! I've got a wardii but was a seedling when I got it last autumn. Hopefully, next year...

Enjoy your beautiful blooms.

Hi George!

I agree with Steve, lovely "greenish" sepals/petals! It looks like Stan greerii (much much rarer than wardii)! Which is the length of the spike? Stan greerii was separated from wardii, and has a spike much longer than that, in addition to more greenish petals! Look at greerii1

Thanks Gabriel, looks like I'll have to be patient for a few years, mine has 8 smaller bulbs and leaves only 15 or so cms.
