Sometimes flowers are well worth the wait, sometimes I'm not quite so sure. I thought I'd share these two, flowering now in the greenhouse.
The first has sublime flowers. I received it a Lobivia densispina v. sublimiflora, but the chance of that being the right name is probably not great.
The second is a caudiciform plant that has slowly produced bunches of flowers that are not only very small, but pale brown.
It's Stephania perrieri.

Re: From the sublime to the ridiculous?
Apparently 'almost nothing is known about the pollination of Menispermaceae'!
