My Freak
Well, of course I wait patiently for 1 1/2 years for the 2 buds on this plant to do something. Then all of a sudden they both start to swell. My luck they both opened at the same time, the one in back is upside down, so rather than an awesome psycopsis....I have a weird deformed octopussy thing. Is this a cultural thing or do they do this? It was in flower when I bought it Nov/10...but I think the flower jumped off after day one and left 2 very small buds...which are now the octopus. Other than the way they are positioned, the flowers are beautiful. Thanks for looking & any info.

Twins! Are they right on the same spike? It may just be a one time thing.

Oh, and you may need to give it more water to get it to bloom. Mine did the pause thing too and then started blooming regularly once I started to really water it.

Gives new meaning to the word specimen Sonya! Guess I'll bring it to our meeting show table for some reactions. |

Ok, now this is better, same plant ...with his "yellow" friend. Much better bloom this time and yes I have been trying to water/mist more frequently which appears to have been part of the problem. Thanks for looking.

I think it looks very cool -- a real conversation piece and still pretty to boot! |
