Gongoras have long chains of these weird flowers off and on during the year. They are quite fragrant. They will grow and bloom in a variety of conditions, but they perform best when they are grown in small pots or baskets and kept constantly moist. Since they bloom from the bottom of the growths, many growers prefer baskets so that they never "lose" a spike in the pot.
