I know I'm gonna love it - I just hope it loves me too!!
Thanks for the info on what you found your's liked. Thats a really big help. Mine is obviously going to be cooler than yours, but I will start off with a high light position and go from there if it doesn't look happy. Hopefully, I can look forward to flowers in the Spring!

Here is a photo of my plant, newly mounted... it didn't seem right in a pot.

You are TOTALLY right in that decision! I agree, it looks great this way.

Thanks, Ross! I'm not sure the mount is big enough (but its what I had on hand....) and I've never mounted something with such a big mass of roots. Hopefully, it will enjoy the new 'home' and I'll get to enjoy some of its flowers soon. (Though really, I could grow this one just for its leaves and stems... I can see why its one of Sue's favourites.!)
Here's a photo, for comparison, of the plant as I received it in a pot:

:iagree: Even without flowers, this is one pretty plant! And if both Sue and I can grow it, then it should grow for just about anyone as our conditions are so different....
(Though mine is new, so I can't claim to be able to grow it yet.... I'll be sure to let everyone know how its doing next spring or, of course, if I have any troubles with it - you guys are sure to be the first to know!)
