Stapelaid is blooming again

PaulaZ
9 years ago

I bought this lovely on June 10th and it was blooming
{{gwi:591411}}
It bloomed for quite a while...not sure of how many days but then it dropped its bloom. But to my surprise it gifted me once again {{gwi:591412}}
I have it in my south facing bedroom window...{{gwi:591413}}

This time I did as Stush mentioned and took a new artist brush and attempted to pollinate the flower. We will watch and hope. But 2 flowers in one month makes me HAPPY!
