    Default Ancistrochilus thomsonianus

    Found in Nigeria, Central African Republic, Cameroons, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Gulf of Guinea Islands, needs to be kept warm all year round, high umidity when growing, rest warm and dryer for a couple of months after flowering and loosing leaves .

    A photo during flowering period:



    and a photo now:



    P.s. very fragrant even if to me the smell was not too good

    Wow, the dormant period photo would make me think I killed the thing. LOL. It is really a cool bloom. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Cheers,

    I think it is beautiful but like BD I would think I had killed it in its dormant state. One worth me looking into though.
