This year's bloom is only 2 flowers since last year I ripped this plant into 3 or 4 sections and kept the nicest one. I remounted it onto a piece of hardwood but most of the roots seem to have grown onto the rock behind it so its stuck!! I didn't want to rip it off the rock so I just took the pics 'in situ.' As you can see in the first pic, its also overgrown with weeds right now.  The 3rd pic is pretty cool and is just a closeup of the fuzzy lip. These guys smell very strongly of a pleasant citrus/lemon scent at night and are very slow growing. Enjoy!

Great job Steve, love the flowers. Have 2 digbys and I'm hoping I will get some flowers this year, if not will just have to settle for looking at yours.

It's great to see it in-situ. It looks great against those rocks.

Good job of growing Steve. I haven't had much luck with digbyanas.

I've always wanted one. A friend has a very large plant, waiting for him to divide. LOL!

Just mount them and throw 'em in the sun! No shade. They love it! |

Thanks Steve. No shade? That must be my problem. I'll take your advice the next time I get my hands on one. |
