My Miltassia

[rbarata]

Not sure what this one is but it looks like a Miltassia Dark Star 'Darth Vader', but as there are similar ones I'm not sure.

It has been neglected...should have been repoted ages ago.
I think I will divided it exactly at the middle where is the dry pbulb. It has been blooming consistently from the two leads.
The flowers are iridiscent, they seem like velvet and with the sun light it's possible to see them shining.

Here's some photos:

wow, those petals are breathtaking! do they feel smooth or like a rose leaf?

do they feel smooth or like a rose leaf?

Not really. They don't even feel like velvet. The hair is microscopic.
One more particularity...it starts to be fragrant as the flowers age, not before when they're new.

Beautiful, couldn't as for much more really, colour, iridiscence and fragrant.
Gosh my 'Must Have List' is getting longer by the day!
