This is extraordinary Asian specie in my opinion. You can call its flowers for strange, gracious, elegant or alien or use other epithets to describe them, but still you are reacting on them. Here they are.

I really can recommend it! Great specie! There is something in such plants, the moment of rebirth each spring, which appealing me a lot.

Nothing strange, Ramón. Very moisterretaining substrate, a lot of water during active growth, intermediate range of temperatures, medium light, good ventilation. Much, much less water during dormancy, but not bone dry. I keep it in the same pot at this time. Then, when it starts grow again, I just refresh the substrate and circle begins again.

That is a most interesting looking flower. How big is the plant? Do you have a picture of it?

The plant is not big, approximately 7 inches and with spike about 15.5-16 inches. I planed to take some pictures tomorrow, so I can make some of them of whole plant.
