    The flowers are about 3/8" wide. This is a REALLY slow growing plant. The spike has had over 30 flowers so far and I can see at least 9 more forming.

    Great shot. I'm been after this one but everyone I tried seems to be out of them. Thanks for the picture Marni!

    Thanks, all. Does any one else grow this? If so and you could supply pollen, please contact me off list.

    I'll try to get a plant shot, Kitty.

    And here's the plant. The spike is just a bit under 18" tall.
