Finally. Not fully open yet and the flower stalks are not well arranged to take a great photo. But wonderful nevertheless. I first thought it would not turn out right as the flower buds were initially green with red dots, but they turned black pretty quickly.

Love this flower. I've almost convinced myself several time to pick it up, but haven't taken the plunge. Yours looks great, presentation be damned! Great growing.

My plant is spiking for the first time. I hope they bloom like yours. This has to be one of the most difficult flowers to photograph.

I have been trying to get a decent shot for next year's calendar, but will probably give up
