C. deckeri, first blooms for me.

[paulemar]

This is the first time this plant is blooming for me and I am surprised. I bought this plant in August, in sheath, but the new growths were about 1/2 the size of the older PB's. Slowly the sheaths turned a crispy, dried up, shriveled brown. One was a double sheath and the second looked like a triple, but I could be wrong on that one. I snipped the tops of the now brown sheaths and 4 weeks later as I was getting ready to water, I saw the buds popping out. One had 12 buds, the other had 9. The pictures are of the 12, the 9 are just opening. The flowers are around 2 3/4 inches across each and the color is a bit better than in the photos
