    It looks like you got good size flowers for a Maxillaria tenuifolia. Love the shape and crimson coloration on this. AL

    It is a big clump and the flowers were a bit larger than I expected...just disappointed that I only got two blooms.

    Congratulations! Well done. I agree with Bruce for some reason they are stingy bloomers--at least mine is. Last year I had only 2 or 3 blooms. One nice thing about the blooms is they last a long time. You may be suprised with more blooms as the season progersses. Good Growing! A lot of people who grow them don't get 1 bloom let alone 2.

    Cin can make you jealous later when hers blooms, Jason. Mine hasn't bloomed yet this year but I typically only get two or three blooms as well. Just enjoy the scent.

    Yes, I do love the fragrance! And I was very surprised at how long the blooms lasted!

    Jason, those two blooms are big enough to count for more, anyway! And the color is so vivid - gorgeous!
