Peacock orchid ( Acidanthera )


Peacock orchid ( Acidanthera )

These bulbs need a long, hot growing season to bloom reliably. I have found growing Acidanthera in containers is the way to go, as container soil heats up much faster in spring .

Very pretty, I have them this year for the first time mine are just about to flower hope they look as good as yours.

Yours is excellent, mine in a large pot, not flowering, unfortunately not in a really sunny spot, nearly everything wants the limited full sun positions in my enclosed garden.
