C. Porcia now in bloom
I noticed today that my C. Porcia is in bloom. Two spikes, one with 5 flowers the other with 4. Cloudy today so not a good pic. Enjoy!

Way cool, Don. I saw one of these in bloom at a local botanical garden and what impressed me the most was the size of the plant. It was huge, with long wide bifoliate leaves that resembled small airplane wings. Now if only I could figure out a way to accommodate it. Congratulations on your beautiful flowers.

I did enjoy the blooms, thanks for sharing BUT your plant is in dire need to be divided. I will volunteer to take the division so you are not saddled with having duplicate plants to tend. I'm just a nice person trying to relieve your work load.
Feel free to PM me for my shipping address.

Nice blue Portia! Ive only seen the purple ones out here. I really like how big these plants get. It seems like this cross is always the 'boss' in the greenhouse!

OK you challenged me 
Here is non-floofy:  or 
Now, I could be swayed some day in the future, but unlikely  Big, frilly things aren't my style. But I do like your flowers and your pictures. Hope you don't hold it against me  |
