Wabbit's Neostylis Lou Sneary in bloom
Actually, one of two I have (the other has three nice spikes coming along!) - they were one plant at one time ...
This one also has another small spike coming along
Grown in a 3" clay pot, chc mix, west facing window that gets some direct sun mid-afternoon.
Thanks for looking

Awesome!! Don't ya love Lou? Easy grower, blooms multiple times a year and smells fantastic...what's not to love, right?
Mine is in spike too and I like this one so much that I just bought a pink one and a green cousin.
Good growing and thanks for sharing.

It's beautiful! I can't wait to see pictures of your other plant when it blooms.
I always smile when I see people's post about how easy this plant is to bloom. I have had mine for two years and I bought it in flower. I have not seen spikes since I bought it! Lol! I have moved it to a location with higher light and that still didn't do the trick. I always have trouble blooming "the easy" ones.

Congratulations!
Okay, I confess, I nearly gave mine away but, in the end, I decided to keep it. It has bloomed every year but has not been fragrant. Just after I decided to keep it, it started a spike and, this year, it is fragrant. I guess it has just been too cold, usually, for the perfume.

Thanks, Katrina!
I tried hard to kill mine the first year or so ... (too much water), it was a shadow of its former self, but refused to die, and recovered quickly after I set my culture right! Tough little plant!

Thank you!
I can relate to having trouble with the so-called easy ones I did have trouble growing this initially (over-watered), but it clung tenaciously to life, and responded quickly to better culture!
I don't know how long yours has been in higher light, but suspect if it hasn't been too long yet, it will reward you within a year
