Phal bellina rebloom! 2 blooms this time

[nenella]

Hello I just had to share ..My bellina flowered in August last year for the first time and I had one bloom.
It has now flowered on a new spike and has 2 blooms which are open at the same time and a 3rd bud growing!
The flowers are not 'perfect' but I am happy as I love the scent...
First photo from last year, 2nd this year.

I'm with you, Nenella. I have a bellina cross with similar flowers and when in bloom my entire GH is soooo fragrant that I don't want to leave! Oh, and yes the flowers are very pretty, too!

Beautiful Nenella! I can't believe I still haven't ordered one of these yet. It's on my to do list, and I've already decided on the vendor. I just need to to do it!

That's a beautiful bellina. Mine bloomed last year giving me a total of 4 flowers on the one spike that it had. I can't wait to see blooms this year.

That is a pretty bellina!

Is it mounted or potted? The leaves look pretty long, do you happen to know how old the plant is?

Thanks.

Thank you for your comments. Any one who hasn't got one should !!!! I now want a white one, a purple one etc etc.....
To answer your question sarahrm - It's potted.
I am not an expert but would guess it's at least 3 or 4 yrs old as, when I got it it was growing it's first spike (which is still there & 'frozen') & Last year it grew a new spike & flowered & this year it has grown it's third spike & blooming.
I will soon have to convert an aquarium to grow it in as it's getting to broad to fit in it's home at the moment (5L water bottle) I had to bend the latest (biggest) leaf downward to fit ..

Beautiful bellina. I like the green tips. And oh, don't they just smell heavenly! Nothing quite like it. Good growing.

This just opened yesterday! I did put a piece of polystyrene between the existing flower and new iopening bud so as to seperate them a bit - seems to have worked as has a better shape. Thanks for looking
