Very nice, when do we get the full frontal? Should be soon Steve. Just waiting for the flower to get a bit larger and more vibrant in color. dvg

Looks like the nectar spur has added some color. Don't recall noticing this yellow-purple color patch on the outside of the flower's throat the previous times that this plant flowered. And of course, this flower's face. More to come... dvg

This flower cluster number looks like it will easily surpass its previous record here of four blossoms on a stalk - there might be seven or more blooms this time. I don't know how many blossoms are possible on one flowerstalk with these, so was pleased before with just four. Might as well enjoy them while they last. dvg

A couple shots from last night, the first shot backlit from behind. There are five flowers here, one is trying to push its way in between the first and second blooms on the left side of the screen. And from today with the new "Pale Eyes" fighting its way into the fray. Five blooms is the most i've seen open on this clone at one time before. dvg

With this much vascular support, there must be big plans for this new leaf stolon development. And the golden-green front side face. dvg

This is all that remains of the previous eight flower buds, five of those have already finished their blooming journey. Not sure what happened to the middle flower's eyespots - they look burnt out... an accidental spray of fertilizer perhaps? dvg

The final two flowers from this bunch. Their blooms don't last anywhere near as long as some of the epiphytic tuberous Utric's flowers do. dvg

And then there was just this one, the last of eight, ready to curtsy and bow after this performance, and for the others, come and gone before this, one last and final curtain call. dvg

When this clone wasn't flowering it grew out this leaf stolon, 4-½" across, while only inches away from the lights. dvg
