« Thread Started on 2 May, 2007, 16:06 »this is the cutie pie flower.....it literally flowers itself to death...non-stop until the plant goes into semi-dormancy & dies off...but it`ll take a few months for that to happen...

By the way, you can save them from dying off by cutting off the flower stalk. I do this with D. burmanni and they survive for 2 years instead of one. Link to Post - Back to Top Loggedtarence
