Little bit earlier than before, my atro began sending up its inflorescences last month. There are total 12 spikes all over the canes, and some flowers began to open yesterday while some others are not mature and would take few weeks before doing so.

I've been growing this in semi-hydroponics for four years and it performed really great.

About two thirds of the buds have opened.
17 inflorescences, about 90 flowers total.

Now it has grown into a 50+ bulb plant, with new growth appearing almost every month.

Yes, it has subtle but nice fragrance, which reminds me of chocolate cookies.

(Almost) In full bloom.

The weight of the flowers makes canes to droop...which results in more spread-out, fuller-looking presentation, IMO.

What a truly incredible plant! How long have you had it? I cannot get over how long those spikes are, so many flowers on each spike! Well done, you should be proud 😊
