Hi Alessandro, very nice indeed, have you more than the one species?

Alessandro,

That is beautiful. I like the P viridiflora best.

I have two mature Stenemesson viridiflora plants but they just will not flower for the third year now. Somebody advised me to give it a dry spell for about a month to get them to flower. They both have about 7 or 8 small bulbs already. They are in their second week of no water? Hopefully I can post their photos here in a few months time too.

Another fascinating lot, Alessandro.  I love the yellow and green combination.  Not a genus I've ever grown.

thanks John.

About 30 years ago I paid a small fortune for a share in an expedition for a looney to go plant hunting along the upper Amazon and this was my sole result. A reminder of my folly ever since.

I have Phaedranassa haurii which Tony kindly sent to me last year (may have been the year before?) in good leaf but not showing a flower stalk yet.

Chris Greenwell (Hristo) would be proud of me as it's growing on the spare bedroom window sill, so far without questions from she who must be obeyed ;D
