    Nice Dale. Does the dorsal sepal ever separate from the petals?

    Holy crap! I really like this one. Need to keep an eye out for it. Do you remember where you got this one Dale? Not that it would do me any good here in Canada but you never know.....

    Clark, that's the normal flower presentation.

    Flowers are c. 2 1/2" across; the plant's c. 8" high.

    "Do you remember where you got this one Dale?"

    Yes. Another local hobbyist.

    I like that. Maybe even better than santosii. Well, maybe not. But it is still pretty damn good.

    Thanks, Forrest. I'll post photos of Bulb. santosii in a week or so. I was sorry to learn that one doesn't bloom for you. It's a vigorous bloomer here.

    I think you have been misinformed. You should have a talk with your source.

    That will be sweet Dale. It is decidedly not a vigorous bloomer in fish tank land. It does grow very well so far though.

    "I think you have been misinformed. You should have a talk with your source."

    It's finally gonna bloom? Oh, good! We should trade pollen. My plant refuses to self. When should I expect to see photos?

    I can send you pollen. I am guessing another week or two before they are open.
