absolutley, how did you accomplish that?

Wow, they are both wonderful.

Stunning chomporensis, Brooke! They're both lovely, of course, but Chompy is a real winner!

I have a var. coerulea that I got as a keiki from a LARGE specimen (overflowing a 6 inch pot) a bit less than a year ago that just started to take off in the last month pumping out roots and leaves. I hope this means I'll get flowers within a year!

I believe the upright habit of the spikes is natural. At least, that's what I've read.

Evan is correct - the spikes just grow that way. I don't do anything with them.

I really love that second one. It's amazing.

These Doritis are stunning, the champornensis veriety is the one which impressed me the most... breathtaking indeed!!
Thank you for sharing!

I love that var. champornensis - absolutely stunning!

The whole plant



As you can see, making keikis is easy for this plant.

Beautiful blooms, and that second one is so impressive! How many years did it take to become that size? I only have one of these, Doritis pulcherimma var minor. It's a mini version, but I'm still waiting for blooms on it.
