    This was awarded last year with fifteen 5.5' flowers; this year it has sixteen. An easy growing, reliable bloomer, I don't know why more folks don't grow this beauty. I grew it in semi-hydro until it outgrew the 6" pot and then moved it to an 8" clay pot just filling in with more clay pellets.

    It is beautiful. When I look at the first image I think: I should be growing that! Then I look at the plant and think: well, maybe not. Thanks for letting me appreciate it from afar.
