Two plants. The first one got sick within hours during humid warm weather. After flowering I had to cut off the front bulb. The culprit was probably bacterial.
The second one is a mislabelled seedling, growing well and flowering for the first time.

Good looking flowers!

I'm curious about your sick plant. What makes you think warm, humid weather made it sick? Normally, this is a species that loves warm humid weather during its growth period.

Such great luck! You enjoyed two of those beauties!
One of my most favorite species!
I think that the growing period is in the spring for her, and she is very sensitive to rot after her flowering, when she goes to resting period...
