Slc Hazel Boyd
Hazel Boyd flowers every year. The individual spikes never seem to develop in unison, they take their sweet time to open, one cluster at a time. Since the pretty red flowers last several weeks, the plant always puts on a nice display. (There is still a latecomer on the "right side" of the plant)
Brassavola cordata
The plant put on some new growth over the Summer and shows off two nice spikes in flower. (The second spike is not visible here.)
