So this morning I am inspecting and watering when out of NOWHERE I am attacked by a MASSIVE colony of little black ants that have taken up residence in my Trigonidium egertonianum. discovered when I was watering and a few hundred cam out of the bottom of the pot. After a screaming fit and ripping the plant into threes, washing all the moss off and spraying the heck out of the plants, the windowsill and making my husband crazy, I found this little surprise, so a happy ending.

Sorry about the ants but I sure do like your bloom.

[maelstrom mike]

Yes, my goodness. Quite the adventure you had there. I'm glad it ended with a beautiful blooming orchid. Considering the parentage, I'm assuming this must have a lovely fragrance. Is that so?

[WhiteRabbit]

Gorgeous!
I've been there with the ants

[ddivey36]

No it doesn't have a fragrance, but it has such a slight pink blush to it, which changes depending on the angle you look at it.

I do like the flower but is it just the one flower all the time?

[ddivey36]

I just got this plant, only only flower came out of the sheath. there is a webinar on AOS tonight on this plant.

Nice! Try smelling it at night when the room has been dark for 15 minutes or so.
