Promenaea stapelioides
The Promenaeas are all cool growing, lower light species from Brazil. This species, my favorite, is named for its flowers' resemblance to the flowers of a Stapelia plant. The plant is 8 cm tall with bluish-green leaves, small pseudobulbs and large 4 cm flowers. I grow it in live sphagnum in a plastic net pot and keep it moist with high humidity.

Beautiful and original Ron. It is true that they resemble the flowers of succulent plants. Congratulations on the good crop. Best regards
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angel, for the kind comments. They are quite easy plants to grow and flower if you can give them cooler temperatures.
Deletefabulous images Ron! very informative also
ReplyDeleteThanks, Irene. Merry Christmas.
DeleteGreat color on those flowers!
ReplyDeleteThis or any other of the Promeneas should do well on your cool windowsill. They are not high light plants and do well in cool conditions.
