    Zain, incredible. Hard to believe the plant can pack that many flowers in that small bunch. Obviously a happy plant!

    Hi Kiki, the during the development of buds the flowers secrete a lots of nectar until the ants cant forget it.
    Thanks Don, the first time I saw the mother plant with the length of each pseudobulb about 2 to 3 meter with so many flowers in clusters very cheerful at a moment, unbelievable than I fall in love quickly looking for the cutting unfortunately has to wait and after a year than I got small cutting ( 15 years ago).
    Thanks Branka.

    I love that emerald green 'eye' in each flower. Perfect color combination per nature and your good care Zain. I also think it's nice of you to share these with the ants. AL
