You can never take too many photos of a gorgeous bloom.

This flower reminds me of the martians on Sesame Street. Remember them?

Thanks folks. The plant came from FV Gardens Canada.

Highest temp I gave this plant is 32c and the lowest is 17c degrees. No winter rest, keep moist all year round. Fed with high urea fertilizer 25-10-10 all year round 66 ppm of N every watering. 50-60 humidity. mix is fine bark, charcoal and perlite. Lots of calcium and magnesium on my hard water.
