    That is one beautiful flower! And I agree with the above....nice large flowers, small compact plant. That's a bonus these days as my collection gets larger. I may have to add this one to my ever growing list.

    That is really pretty, Branka. Such a big bloom on a tiny plant.

    Cheers,

    Very nice, Branka! Looking at yours reminds me why I stubbornly keep trying with my Barkeria though I have yet to hit upon a regime that pleases it.
