Tolumnia Red Berry blooming

Tolumnia Red Berry

     Yesterday, the last of the flowers on my Tolumnia Red Berry finished opening. There are 5 wine-colored 1-inch blooms on a 8" spike.  I haven't noticed any scent.  The spike took 2.5 months to mature.

     The flower count is low compared to the two spikes this orchid had when I bought it around this time last year.

     And now for some more pictures of this year's blooms.

    1. You can find pieces of mopani or driftwood meant for aquariums at pet stores. The mopani wood is very pretty having both dark and light streaks.
