Second bloom for me. I noticed that the bloom is noticably bigger this time. The randomness of the spots is what makes me like it so. Plus, there's another bud coming up too!

The spots are really neat! Is it fragrant?

No, no fragrance. If it were, it would be my all time favorite!

Fragrance or no, it's still really cool! I had to add it to my ever growing wishlist!

I absolutely love the Hoku gem, mine died last summer though. Mine didnt really have spots, they were more like blobs or splotches? of dark red (I think I just made that word up but it works)

I have one and I just love it. I think mine is a bit more orange, and the spots are more toward the center. There are pictures in my gallery.

Mines in bloom now too. This time it gave me 4 flowers on a single spike. These flowers are a little more orange than when it bloomed a couple of months ago. I don't know if that has to do with temp or light or both.
