Its a pretty cool looking flower. The plants work hard to do these things.

Thanks for looking. Its time to start tightening things up ya know! :bowing

Super! I bought a small plant some 3wks ago with 3 spikes. Hope it pops like yours. Lovely blooms.

cute little thing. species really are the best.

Lovely.

Really kicking myself that I didn't purchase one of these before they sold out! Beautiful.

I am so glad I got one! Will be posting pics of mine soon, just waiting for all the buds to open. What an impressive bloom!

i like it more each time i look!

I'll admit I've come back to look at this a few times myself. I like how the flower has the spear-shaped cooperi lip. I don't like the narrow segments but I do like the spots. I'd be surprised if Fred doesn't have more of these cooking in the kitchen...
