Nice one with all those stripes!
What is your bud count? Can you show us the whole plant?

I wish folks hadn't gotten started going for flower portraits. They serve a purpose and are nice to look at, BUT many times lately I have either wished the poster would show the whole plant in bloom or specifically asked to see it. For me it helps establish an over-all size.

Very nice indeed. I as well would like to see the whole plant Ross. Especially if its a first time bloomer. I'll try to remember this when I post pics since I'm guilty of that.

Aren't we all guilty of that. It's so easy to focus on the main event - the bloom and forget the rest.

The "main event" is important! That's not what I am talking about. It would be nice to see the whole plant/flower/spike (depending on plant) then the close-up. That's my point.
