It seems I’ve forgotten to upload a photo of my Scaphosepalum lima in flower. It’s been in flower since the end of April, entered in the Cape Orchid Society Autumn Show 2010 on the 5th – 7th May. Here’s the photo:

Scaphosepalum lima

It’s still in flower, and actually has about 7 inflorescences right now, although only 3 of them have flowers.
