Gena what a nice plant, however I feel in your comment that shape is something you don´t like very much (I might be wrong ??). In any case the plant is very cool. By the way I enjoyed all written conversation in this post.

No, Bruno, you are absolutely right! :)
What I do not like in mine it is a form, as you correctly noted. Look at both Steve’s plants – both of them do have much better form in my opinion. They are more “cooperi-like” in form. Mine has the inheritance from herrenhusanum in form of quite twisted petals. This I do not like so much. In pure herrenhusanum it looks charming, because of more compact form, but here ..... well, we will see ....

I totally agree with you, it would have been much more attractive if the flower arrangement was much more compacted.
