It is always delight when plants put out flowers. I haven’t had much success with the species in my collection; they are mostly rainforest trees and are not usually confined to pots. Despite that, a few have done their thing. It doesn’t matter whether these flowers are showy or dowdy. All flowers are beautiful…although some might be beautiful in their own way. (Yes, I’m looking at you, Gastrodia.)
