Tolumnia Midas 'Orchid Heights' blooming again
My Tolumnia Midas 'Orchid Heights'. Not a large plant, I keep dividing it whenever I re-pot, but always reliable. Grown at a window in a clear plastic pot and watered about twice/week.
Sorry the lighting wasn't good. I prefer to take my photos outside in natural light but the weather precludes that right now.

You have a gorgeous cluster of blooms....I know this is a tiny flower but it looks bigger and flatter. The colors are bright and festive. Don't apologize, you photographed it well enough to capture the form.

Not as small as you might think. They measure 1-3/8" from top to bottom. This is the first time it's gotten a branched spike (you can see it in the upper left-hand corner). I usually don't get any laterals until I cut the end off of the initial spike. |

The tiny stipple dots make it look like it is shimmering, a very beautiful plant!

Quite nice! Makes me wish I could bloom them (and believe me, I've tried  ).
