The first flowers have started opening on my largest Cymbidium plant:
I used to think the blobs of sticky sap were caused by insect attack but after some research I was reassured that these are produced naturally by the plant.
Mick: Thank you. Some I find easy but others, even those which are supposed to be easy, I fail with. For outdoors I have just ordered a bottle bush plant. Had one years ago in the conservatory but it died one Winter. Now I've found a variety which is said to be fully UK hardy.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
Congrats on growing such beautiful flowers and plants,

DeleteI see several other buds on the stalk too - a fine specimen.
ReplyDeleteWilma: Yes indeed it has quite a few buds. Should look nice when they all open.
DeleteThey really are the most exotic plants aren't they?
ReplyDeleteWeaver: They certainly are.
