Ferraria crispa (Side view) (Ferraria crispa)

My growing highlight of the year so far, I bought a small corm of this about 4 years ago, since then I've been waiting for this day, my first flower, I think it's been worth the wait, just cool...... :o)))

Thanks all, It's in a heated greenhouse Meanie min temp about 3c.
Ml, it was in a 9cm pot for 2.5 years then potted on to a 13cm in sharply drained compost, It has no water from end of May(ish) to early September when I start it back into growth :o)))
