Ionopsis utricularioides - Update5


It's been about eight months since last update and last bloom from
this specimen was last acquired.

Well to my surprise and like these surprises. What do I spot?

Look here, screams the orange arrow.

This is last years growth that did not bloom last fall, which tells me
that this specimen is capable of blooming at least twice a year.

I have since gotten two more new sprouts also, which may take until this fall to
bloom, which still leaves a mystery to as when this current sprout with a new bloom
first sprouted. Yes, gardening can bring some detective work and may require
lots of patience.



Another angle and no distracting orange arrow to detour your gaze from this
native Florida orchid.
