Rhynchostylis Gigantea Alba & Lavender spot blooming
My Rhynchostylis gigantea Alba and two of the Lavender Spot varieties are blooming. The Alba started to bloom in late November, followed by the one with light lavender spots. These are first time bloomers, each with one small spike. The one with darker spots was a gift and is more mature, sent out two spikes. Long lasting flowers and wonderful fragrance. The alba has been blooming for 6 weeks and the flowers are still pure white and beautiful. Grown on window sill, in pots, and quite tolerant (while in spike, they were left home unattended for 2 weeks while we were on vacation -- didn't seem to hurt much. The spikes on the matured one are rather short, probably from lack of care & water during our absence.)
Together, they fill my house with lovely fragrance. I'm still looking for the lavender with the medium size spots...
