Well it only seems fair that after you showed me yours I show you mine! I have at last -almost a year to the day- finally got a sheath on my Bc Tetradip 'Junko'!! I am so happy, it was an accident I am sure but I am with sheath!!



I am delirious with joy. I have watched so many leads form and then do nothing apart from make another lead and that was it. I had all but given up ever hoping to see the blooms on this beauty or indeed smell the fabulous fragrance that she puts out at night. But low and behold, I had a look down the latest matured lead today and to my utter astonishment there was a bulge inside. I had another look and sure enough there was something taking up space inside the lead. This has been under a daylight bulb for the last two / three weeks getting 16 hours of daylight and 21C / 72F so I am unsure whether that triggered the sudden sheath or if it was down to nature but either way, I am happy that it is doing something exciting. I now have to wait for the buds to form but that is easy compared to waiting for the sheath to arrive.

Thanks for all of your help.
