This will continue until about August, the end of my flowering season here. I have had a S. conspicua flowered once before for me about 15 years ago on a new growth that I could only see the tip of the leaf, this spike of flowers was 18" very heavely scented, and perfumed an whole large autorium at a show. It was conspicous no doubt of the name. It has never flowered again, today I gave it new soil, and took out some small offsets, I just wonder if it will take 20 years to flower again.? The leaves are huge tall and wide. LOL This species flowered for me the end of August or in September. Norma
