Full Face: Neomarica gracilis

wow not long then GT, i would have to sit there for the whole 7 hours to make the most of it lol ;o)

Thanks. I swore I was taking the day off when it bloomed this year, but my schedule made it a must, it bloomed the day I worked, between four days off! Just couldn't call out.

wow from me too....lucky u saw it at all...;-))

Ditto....Sandra.......thats amazing !!

What a beautiful flower!

only one bloom to a plant? it is so special...wow

fantastic!

Thank you all. I love this flower. I wait every year for it. A new plant will sprout and form air roots on the drying flower stem. And this amazing bloom. :-)

Worth watching unfurl :~))

Well worth Pip. :-)

Wow Thats beautiful.........

That is so lovely, thanks for sharing it's 1 day with us. :o))

Thank you Milky and PG. A little wonder.

What a stunner!

Thank you TOG. :-)

Beautifully marked Gt....well worth the wait...and so pleased you managed to see it.........

Thank you Janey. Really a treasure of mine. I watch close all winter. :-) Aleyna found one blooming in the wild open in Brazil. I was amazed!

Wow, it's gorgeous! Ashamed that it lasts for a such a short time, glad that you caught it in time to share w us :)

I agree that it was lucky you were able to catch it when you did, now we will have this buet for all time & not just for 7 hours!!!

Fantastic Gt .......

Thanks Tastey, Balcony and Linclass. This is a favorite for me to share. It followed this with another, two in one bloom period! I keep my eye on it every day from january into February until it blooms. Like clockwork.

the most amazing part of it all...(the lovely flower aside) is the fact that you do this miracle under lights...in your little cabin north of 60 degrees north Latitude!
Congratulations, Gt!

Aw, thank you Lori. I got some challenges, but I'll do what I must to get those results! :-) I should post my current Musa, happy as can be! :-)

really, Gt? checking your pics.. maybe I should try one, compared to you I live in the banana belt!!

LOL! I just took some shots. The sun is coming in real nice now and its looking good.
