Almost missed this Baccarii bloom
Hidden away behind the big leaves, i spotted this Baccarii flowers while spraying the orchids this afternoon. Second time it has bloomed. Unfortunately I could not get a direct front shot because of the way the plant is growing. I grow it very wet and you can see the moss all around the orchid. The smell attracts houseflies as you can see in the first photo. The flowers are small compared to the leaves probably because they have no room to fully develope due to the way it has been grown. I grow the big leaves and macrobulbons for their bulbs and leaves, maybe I should pay attention to the blooms as well. The macrobulbons are doing really well and some of them will need to be divided soon or have their barks changed.to larger ones... Maye by the end of the year.
