I was so excited when I found a little, oddly-shaped growth in the center of my P. primuliflora. I didn't bother taking any pictures because it was so small, but here it is as the flower opens!

When the pollen ripens, I will self it. Not necessarily for seeds, but mainly cuz I need experience.

In the background, you can see a "mounted" truncata, and orchid.

Just want to mention; There's another flower-shaped growth in the crown!

My Iphone camera doesn't do macro pics, so I'll post when it's the size of this one.
