    This has been in my care for many years; its from the southern Amazon basin at sea level elevation.
    Its not a showy species, flowers last a few days, and has the most strange odor when blooming: sewage with a touch of moth balls (napthalene) !!! IMG_5230 (1024x683).jpg

    If you run out of room to grow things and can't add anything new, will you still keep this?:rolleyes:
