Default Gongora pseudoatropurpurea
Amazing flowers of strange and intricate structure! I can't help thinking of them as if they were pre-historic pterodactyls in full flight! As nothing is perfect, these flowers 'aroma' isn't what I'd want to often smell! Enjoy!

Awesome! I notice that you staked the spike. Any reason other than the plant is not hanging? Great growing!

I just love these strange little tykes. Who says mother nature doesn't have a sense of whimsy? Mauro, your 'little candy critters' are simply marvelous!
