Doritis Flowering
My white Doritis is flowering. It took a long time for the flower spikes to develop, near 2 to 3 months I think.
I got this plant from a nursery in Malaysia, when it was first flowering. But all the flower wilted under the hot sun in the car, so I never did get to enjoy the bloom. Now I can finally see them.

Actually, it is a small plant! About 10cm across, but it put out about 2 spikes which splits into 15 spikes, and carrying 5-12 buds of flowers on each spikes. Very top heavy now, and I have to support the pot to stop it from toppling over! |

I didn't know what cause this plant to start branching like that! In fact, I think the original flowers spikes from the nursery are more singular, and doesn't branch. |

Yes, this plant takes forever to bloom. When I first saw the flower spike, I thought it's going to flower soon. I waited and waited, but the spikes just grew taller and then start branching out and I waited for a really long time! |
