    How do you like the fragrance, Dale? Mine is going to bloom soon for the first time. If you like to have another clone with hanging spike, let me know.

    I find the flower scent unpleasant. Thanks Tom, but I have three adult clones and several vigorous seedlings. I'm not certain all of the flower spikes on my plant are presented. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few that dig into the pot and are never seen by me. The plant I photographed yesterday has 6 flowers and buds on it now and has had a few flowers in the last two months. I'm not gonna worry about a few stray spikes that wind up in the bottom of the pot. It's a large plant and it's not going in a basket.
