    Well done, Geoff! Awesome little flowers there! I've always found their little "bottle brush" of hairs intriguing.

    That auction site is proof positive that a fool and his money are soon parted. Slays me when I see a "rare" Ludisia discolor (single growth) selling for $20 or more.

    That is a really cool looking bulbo, I just love the almost black color. Oh and if you do divide it up and put it up for auction pm me I would love to take a peace off your hands.

    Very interesting blooms. To me, looking at healthy plants like this is good enough, never mind the blooms. Congrats Geoff. .

    Seriously cool plant, healthy, spectacular flowers! I would probably have some concave reflecting surfaces around, to see it better
    Win awards!

    P.S. Is a good size greenhouse included in the price ?)
