That is awesome!!! It's not every day that some one gets a plant named after them. And a gorgeous Bulbo too. I sure hope for you that it isn't a stinker!

Got to see my namesake plant in the flesh last evening. I have to say that it is even more impressive in real life. Looks like I will be getting 1/2 dozen or so plants next week sometime. Can't wait to grow them out and see how variable the cross may be.
