My baby Neomarica has its first bloom, and I didn't even know it was coming! I've never seen it bloom upright. Once a year, the bloom lasts about 5 hours.

Thanks for the kind comments. I do feel lucky that I caught it. I love plant for these rare moments. Sorry to hear you missed some of your cactus Sandra. They go quickly as well.

Mazeltov! Worth wating for GT! .did you pass out cigars? Amazing when you're waiting for something to bloom it's almost as exciting as having a baby! (well, maybe not quite that thrilling, but pretty cool, nonetheless.) Congrats!

Thank you so much PG. It really was a wonderful surprize, I hadn't even seen the buds forming, it flowers each year in January, this was completely unexpected.
