    Default lone star Ceratostylis retisquama, aka C. rubra


    Single bloom this time. Endemic to the Philippines, only.

    It is hard to take photos of shiny flowers, as they reflect light.

    I really like the color on this one. And excellent form. Good Growing, as usual.

    Default This is the first time

    it has bloomed singly. Maybe it feels space-constrained.

    Thank you, Diane.

    iytan - that is a lovely looking plant. Nice, bright, vibrant color on the blossoms. And it looks very healthy and happy!

    I love the foliage habit on that and the color on the blooms is an added bonus. Looks like a great acquisition to your collection.
    Thanks for posting it, I love having a look at species I've never seen before.
