Burbidgea schizocheila flowers

Hey everyone,
I adopted a Gold Dust Burbidgea last fall, had it bloom on one spike, then after flowering I divided it. Each of the clones is currently blooming at the same time. One has two flower spikes and the other has one, but they are absolutely beautiful to see. I'll post an update as the flowers open. I know very little about this plant, so if anyone can fill me in, I only know that its from Borneo and that it prefers to have its rhizomes above soil line. Thank you.
Peace,
Nate

RE: Burbidgea schizocheila flowers

I also love this plant. Mine flowers on and off through out the year from new stalks. The seeds are viable- have four little seedlings. One of the few orange tropicals. I planted some in our clay soil and they seem happy- they started making new plants (above the soil line of course!).
