Default Den. unicum

Many pictures of this plant have been posted which inspired me to get one so here is mine. I got it last Nov. and intended to give it a winter rest so it would loose it leaves to prepare for flowering as recommended. I noticed a couple of weeks later that it was starting new growth so it got no rest. As it was making the new growth these little bumps developed along the cane and recently produced the flowers.

Gorgeous one.

It imediately reminds me of my Den Stardust hybrid so I wonder if Stardust contains this species.

Edit: Just did a quick check and unicum is one of the direct parents of Stardust so I'm not mistaken in my thought that they have some similar features.

White Rabbit, the growth that is blooming is 9" to the tip of the leaves and the other in-mature growths are about four inches and Terri at 1:00 PM it had no scent.

Beautiful! That tubular lips with the orange veins is really gorgeous. I have two small ones, still waiting for the little nubs to appear. Last year the blooms had a slight citrus fragrance.
