So, my poor excuse for a stuartiana is blooming now for the first time for me (it has bloomed once before). I got this one from Orchids & More, and it came to me mounted and afflicted by something. It's still showing signs of said affliction and I don't know what it is. All I know, is that it doesn't seem to spread anymore, and that it causes the plant to reek when I water it. I'm seriously considering tossing it and try to get a new one, but that doesn't seem to be easy (this is the best I got last time I tried).
Oh, well, I'll see what I'll do. This is the plant when I got it:
This is how it looks now:
The black spot still left (I won't remove it at the moment since it's too close to the stem):
And this is the first flower which I don't think is fully opened yet:
