Thanks. They kinda do look cuddly... unlike the spectabile that looks like it might bite.

LOL! yes, but that's the "charm" of the spectabile! I do llike that one very much too! I have a small spectabile seedling which I hope I can someday get to bloom Meanwhile, I'll enjoy photos of yours

Wonderful. I love them both, the spectabile is just so crazy looking and the aphyllum so fluffy.

Nice job with the spectabile. I hear it can be a reluctant bloomer. It sure is crazy looking. I like it!

Thank you. I'd heard that too. The plant was pretty small when I got it 20 months ago. I expected it wouldn't bloom for 2 or 3 years. It will be interesting to see how long the blooms last. They have a firm texture so I think they'll hang around for a while.

Wow, what a spectacle of a bloom!
