What happened to the other petal?(just kidding)

I have a couple of species from this genus. How long does your flower last?

Very unusual. I like the 'iced' look.

Tom, I was curios if somebody will miss it. You know, the winter in Germany was very cloudy and many buds dried So after I've got the first flower I took a picture , even one sepal was destroyed. I though this species is not so common, also I've, despite missed sepals,to posted this picture. I'm just curios which Pteroceras do you have.

[Tom-19951]

lanhua, actally I have three species from this genus and they are Pteroceras pallidum, P. phillipinensis and P. semiteretifolium

[Tom-19951]

I also still have Grosourdya appendiculata(syn. Pteroceras appendiculata)

I love them all but some may have short-lived flowers.

[lanhua]

Tom, pallidum I don't have, the another yes. Moreover teres, longicalcarum and unguiculatum. You are right the bloom doesn't last to long but I love them as well.
My Pteroceras semiteretifoliu in bloom, this time with all sepals and petals.

[Tom-19951]

Sweet! My P. semiteretifolium is not a blooming size plant yet. Yours looks great and I am assuming there are more than one plants on that mount, right?

[lanhua]

you are right, they are four plants.

It is quite unusual Pteroceras simondianum because usually it have some spike at a same time but your just have one. Is that right or not, that what I observe.
