Griffinia liboniana is blooming again, under fluorescent lights in my basement. Right next to it, a scape is growing on
Stenomesson ecuadorense.

Jim
My Griffinia liboniana bought in 2012 flowered the first year but not since (and hasn't increased either). How do you look after yours?
Looking forward to seeing your Stenomesson open...

Gail,
This is the second round of blooms for liboniana. The bulb seems to have split into two, as well.
It is under fluorescent lights, in a basement room. The temperature varies between ca 20 C and ca 26 C. The higher temps are while the lights are on. There is not much difference between summer and winter as far as temperatures are concerned in this basement room. I feed it lightly when watering, and it gets less water when it sheds its leaves.
I don't know what the secret of getting flowers is, but my guess would be the drier dormant bit of rest.

Thanks Jim, mine is on a windowsill. Not sure if it is getting too cold during the winter, I may try bringing it into the room when I shut the curtains.

Wonderfully we have 3 types of Rhodophiala bifida in bloom at the same time
The first is a dark pink from seed from Forumist Santiago in Argentina;
second is a blood-red form from a friend, Josie, in Leongatha;
third is the orange-red form in the trade;
cross-pollination is in hand
cheers

I apparently dumped some used potting soil outdoors against the greenhouse wall. This Ipheion or Tristagma must have been in that pot. Could this be 'Rolf Fiedler'?
