Adult plants of tropical ladyslippers are not easy or cheap to get in Puerto Rico. That means that you have to buy small seedlings by mail and then wait until they achieve blooming size. For some plants you can wait quite a bit for them to reach adult size. This was the first blooming of this plant. A snail ate a hole in the stem of the inflorescence. When I moved the plant, the inflorescence broke. You can imagine how mad I was. Hopefully it will bloom next year and I will be able to enjoy an inflorescence with all its flowers open.
