pleased to announce my Selenicerus grandiflorus has given birth to TWO queens tonight.

the flowers are quite huge, about bread and butter plate size, cream and white. they were well worth the wait.

they flowered around 8.30pm WA time. the weather has been extemely hot today 45degC today and is quite humid now.

have taken some pics and will try and post them, after figuring out how to do it.
