    Default Diplocaulobium clemensiae

    Deepest apologies for the quality of the pics but you don't have a lot of time to shoot this one, The flowers are only open for a few hours and I'd already missed the opportunity several times when they've bloomed. The flower opens a few days after the bud starts to show. Outdoor shots are impossible in the slightest breeze. Colour is accurate in the plant shot. Really have to get a better camera!! Flowers are just wilting on this so it lasts about 10 hours.

    Great looking bloom, too bad it is only open for a short amount of time! I have a few bulbos that do that also.

    I've just noticed another with nine buds. A plant seems to open all of its flowers on the same night. Hopefully, I can learn how to do proper photos by Friday.

    Really cool plant. I love the look of the whole thing. The proportions are really nice. I know nothing about this type.

    Thank you Robb, seems to be fairly easy to grow. Just have to get past the fact that they only last 10 hours

    Same with Stanhopea, when I used to grow them in Florida. They lasted such a short time. It was so worth it though. I think it is with this one too!

    A new one for me too. Short live but worth it. I like the star-shape flower.
