FredG Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 This is Himantoglossum robertiana (formerly Barlia robertiana) a terrestrail form the Meditteranean area. I'm growing it without heating so it is a little surprising that it began to open its flowers on the 6th January. It does look happy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel G Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 My orchid has around 5 or six flowers open now. Started off a week or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Interesting to hear Daniel. Are you providing any heat for your Himantoglossum robertiana ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel G Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ahhh, I should have mentioned it's not the same species It's just an orchid I received from a friend. Not sure what species really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicon Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Nice one Fred, let's hope the cold snap that is due doesn't knock things back too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just a quick update on these. The green clone continues to flower. The flowers all appear to have faces. Clone 2 is now starting to open its flowers. They do not appear to be as scented as clone 1 But they still have the faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
