ph5172 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Once it has flowered and then close does it die off straight away or does it remain like that as in an orchid until the flower falls off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperGoose75 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Very interesting indeed! There really are some wonderful things in this world. I recall Mr Wilson having such a flower in the Dennis the Menace movie. I think it only flowered for one night every 40yrs.
