This first bloom appeared on Summer Solstice 2022

 


This is one of my four flowering indoor plants and the only one that is currently blooming.

After many cloudy days, the sun is shining.

The birds are singing.

Can anyone identify this flower?  I was told that it was called a Poor Man's Orchid and also that it is not called a Poor Man's Orchid.  I cut it back in the fall, and it is dormant during the fall and winter.  It comes to life again in late winter and then blooms in late spring or early summer until the following fall.

I don't know what kind of flower that is, but it really is beautiful.

I don't believe I've ever seen that plant before so I'm no help.

I cant identify flowers for beans, but that one is certainly lovely.

I wonder if this is your plant:

But the leaves remind me of begonias, of which there are endless variations available.
