    Default Jumellea cormorensis

    I posted a thread back when I mounted this - it has really been an easy going plant and it already has it's first ever flower (you can kind of see a wine glass for scale). The species epithet is a reference to the bird. It likes a bit bright it seems and gets sprayed with water once a day. Nothing like a fun easy plant to make you happy!

    Lol it is really amusing me too - the spur on the flower is 2/3 as long as the whole plant and is about 2 times longer than the spike.

    Actually the species isnt cormorensis. Its Jumellea comorensis, in reference to its origin.
