My all time favorite......T. duratii

[atmccmn]

I received numerous questions regarding this sp. No, it's not a monocarpic. So dont worry it would no produce pups after flowering. It will but not many pups. One of few rootless Till with fragrant flowers. Very nice spicy lime scented flowers at the size of about our 10 cents. 3 petals purplish blue base flower with white throat.
The most distinctive and appealing character of this species is the the twirling habbit of its' leaves. This mechanism is used as a gripping method on tree branches as it and the host leaves competing for sunlight.

Mine is a 7 years plant. Never fail to flower every year during Septmber.
Those photos were taken last year. Hope I most of the questions asked.
Enjoy.
