The blossom peacock opened up this morning, almost three buds at once, I was sooooo excited.

And this is the second time it bloomed this spring Lori. I've been fascinated by this one. The first was a little larger and deeper in color.

Hey GT, my blossom peacock is now blooming. You are welcome to watch it in my pictures :-)
I'm really excited too!
It has a lot of bulblets, four to be exact. The mother plant is around three years old (counting since i have it, of course it is actually older) The bulblets are around two years. Maybe they'll bloom next year? I'll keep you informed, hihihi...
