Dend. kingianum
 

Also have a hybrid of this species coming into bloom for the first time.

Beauty Ron!! I love this species and do own it, but have had no luck reflowering it. Any tips?

I think the best thing is to give it as much light as possible. I put it, with a few others, outside udring the summer in a bright location where it gets a lot of early sun and it seems to do well for me that way.

Thanks Ron, I will give it a shot!

Just another comment, Nick. Mine seems to bloom best when the bulbs are short and thick, the result of higher light. When they're thin and spindly, I generally don't get any blooms or very few.

Well maybe I will luck out this year then. Mine has produced two short fat bulbs this season. I guess only time will tell. Thanks again Ron!!

Beautiful picture, Ron. It's interesting how the petals seem to be connected on the bottom of the flower.

Chill It! literally. We have a division from Wilford Neptune's Den. kingianum 'Roy' CCE plant. As advised, the plant is outdoors (NH) from mid-April to mid-November (even catching a few snowflakes). From January to March, it's loaded with the most deliciously fragrant flowers that you can imagine.
