That's gorgeous! :-) Is that huge cluster coming off one growth or several?

I got one this spring, a small plant supposedly 2 years from blooming, but it has 3 buds appearing. I can't wait to see the blooms!

What a lovely color! Like orange sherbet.

Lowest leaf produced four flowers, that the upper area seems to have clusters of flowers. Good growing!

Thanks.

The lead bulb has 8 flowers.

There is a hidden inflorescence just hiding behind the main lead spike (but with only one flower open at the time the photo was taken).

Last year there was just one inflorescence with six flowers, but this time, this little jewel has surpassed all my expectations.

Wow, 8 blooms off one bulb sounds like a very, very happy plant!
