Terri, my absolute favorite of all Dends. are the Latourias, especially, atroviolaceum and yours is stunning!!!!!!!!
I don't know if you'll remember but when I saw your last thread on the atroviolaceum, it sent me into immediate action to find a vendor
I finally got mine and not without a lot of head tripping from the vendor. I should have gotten it from H&R in Hawaii but didn't want to spend a pretty steep shipping charge. I ended up ordering it here, in the continental U.S. and after a week, phoned the vendor who told me that he had just found my address that he lost. OK. The following week I called to find out why I still hadn't received it and he told me that he ended up leaving town before he could ship it and would ship it out the following Monday, and.....once again, the following week I phoned him to see where it was when he told me that he didn't think I wanted it after all and never sent it but would ship it "tomorrow" if I wanted it. I finally got it last week.
Anyway, I'm now waiting for mine to bloom...any day now.
