Congratulations on the bloom, Butch; and thanks for not using that interminable watermark of yours, so that I can take credit for that plant . . .

Blue, the flower itself is approx the size of a nickel

What's also intriguing is that they appear to be a night blooming species.
(just a suspicion, no scientific proof)
But it is rare to catch a flower open during normal daylight hours, at least in my conditions.

the picture i posted is the first time I have, and that particular flower is now closed.

How does it smell? Normally most night bloomers are fragrant. Color not important in the dark so other cues needed

good question mach, but one I cant answer...

it is buried in the far rear of my lower plant rack... to get access would require that I move my N. macrophylla and a U. quelchii that is also about to open a flower

both have entwined themselves with the surrounding helis

guess I could use a section of aquarium hose... hmmm if i can catch another one open Ill give that a try

smell o vision :p Also see what sort of light reflecting properties it has under low light. might be doing things under low light/moon light if that is the case.

MTF
