cynorkis fastigiata

[disalover]

Cynorkis fastigiata, the only bloom I saw from all five on the spike. Three did not even open before they died and seed started to form, and one opened when we were on vacation. And this is the only one I saw but was only opened one day!

I have a big clump of these in my garden. There are about a 100 individual plants, wich each had aboud 6 flowers on this year. They are very very easy to grow, i just let the seasons take care of them no extra fuss. Summer is rains, winter a dry season.

I just could not resist. I had to tell some one other than my friends and family about my new zants. Zantedeschia or calla lily as they are called are my favourite non-orchid. I have about 20 species and hybrids, and these rare hybrids are my newest plants a grower of aethiopica species cultivated by seed sowing. I dont know what aethiopica's he used. These are all aethiopicas, the common whites he cultivated like this. They never die in winter. He gave me like a thousand seeds that are coming up nicely.
Here are some fotos.
Nr1. White on the inside but red around the outside.

Nr2. Like the green goddess but instead of white it is pink!
