Default Kefersteinia tolimensis

Got this one from eBay last year. It arrived half-dead with no viable roots, and an apologetic letter from the seller offering a refund if it didn't survive. Figured I'd give it a shot. After six months of moping, it decided to live, and now has one bloom, with two more buds on the way. Growing Intermediate/warm and shady in a 3" plastic net pot in sphagnum moss. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful Kefersteinia, and congrats on the rescue. I've been wanting to add this one to my collection for a while now.

I have a Bollea pulvinaris that's moping around like your Kefersteinia. Maybe it'll thrive like your plant did, given time.
