Love it! Waiting to get a first spike on mine!
Oh! I love it! I will search the web for one
Amazing flowers and thank you for sharing! ( I also like species, LOL)

Not sure why mine hasn't flower yet.
Btw, it is Papilionanda.
Thanks for the comments! I'm still stuck on the old names I learned first, I guess.
Nice one.
Always a favorite!

Nice one Yug. Some how, I dont have good luck with this hybrid. keep loosing it to fusarium.
Wow! That's too bad; I think you would really like this one. Your humidity level is probably the same as here, so it must just be more prevalent in your area.

Sriram, you do not have to keep Mimi Palmer as wet as the other more conventionally semi-terete-leaved papilionandas, which are often top-dressed with sawdust when grown in pots. I have Mimi Palmer almost bare-rooted growing in a clay pot, exposed to the elements. So far roots are ok and has bloomed multiple times. You might want to give this a try.
