I just had to share my gorgeous little bloom. I have never had this one flower before. Its darrahii ( syn. anguilger).
I saw the buds a month or so ago and got such a surprise as my epis finished way back in November last year.
The plant is only about 5 years old . I looked yesterday and thought it would be days away from opening, but this morning, there it was. Such a dainty flower. Only about 2 1/2 - 3 inches across.
No discernable scent this morning. I will have to brave the spiders and go smell it at night.
