Yesterday I posted an image of Pleione formosana with variegated leaves and an unusually delicate flower.
This is a pot of bulbils I planted in April 2014 after collecting them from around my large colony in a pot. Just one of them seems have been a little older than the others and is now flowering, as is the parent colony. It looks the same. All my bulbs of this species originated from a single bulb, several years ago, and are a clone. Note how it differs from the flower of the variegated one (reloaded here).
I like the way that it reminds me of a brooding bird trying to cover its chicks with its wings. The green vegetation is unexpanded leaves of all the bulbils.
EM-1, Kiron 105mm f16, triple off-camera flash, hand-held.

Thanks, Brian.
Apparently, the colour can very according to the growing medium.
