Coryanthes macrantha about to bloom
I bought this plant in early December 2015. And despite slowly killing off all its leaves, it looks like it is about to bloom. I also see two little growths that look like they could be new pseudobulbs.
I'll post some more when it opens. |

Still hasn't opened, but what I call the "ribs" (what will be the rim of the bucket once it opens) are widening and the bud is getting a much more angular and structured shape. I'm sure it will pop open soon.

It opened today while I was at work. I can see the nectar dripping into the bucket, but not very much has accumulated yet. I can't detect any fragrance yet. I assume the fragrance will come with more nectar and probably during the day.
