    Default Symphyglossum sanguineum

    I bought this one in spring: part of my drive to move from bigger plants to smaller ones (as my greenhouse is rather full). It has two very long spikes (about 1m). Slightly dissappointed, as this clone has quite small flowers, but it compensates with a much longer flower stem that is developing lots of side branches

    Nice species, Lars. and you captured the true color of the flowers as well.

    I grow and bloom mine under intermediate to cool condition. Do you grow yours warmer?

    Yes, I provide intermediate to warm conditions and it seems to do fine.
