Of course you can. You did it right, now it's Michael's turn to pay up.  Ahh, the agony and then, the ecstasy! Looking forward to seeing the bloom.
Congratulations! |

Thanks for all kind words. It's nice to have others appreciate the plant. My better half thinks I'm nuts. when I get home from work, after a quick hello, I go to check on the 'chids each day. 
Nenella, here's a picture of the entire plant. It's in a 4 1/2" pot with a leaf span of 27". It's the first time it's flowered, so it can only get better next time.

That is fantastic. Isn't it captivating to watch the petals unfurl? It's a longgggggg wait until next years bloom so you can watch it again. I wish mine bloomed twice a year.
