It developed a little hairy white mold or fungus on the buds and around the base of the spike. I got that cleared up by spraying with Physan 20 a couple of times and increasing the air circulation. Thanks very much OB gang!

And then I moved it several times from place to place before I settled it into a really good growing space, it had a few buds blast in the interim because of temp and humidity changes.

So now we're both in our growing groove. . .and it's still blooming.

Bless it's tiny little beauuuuutiful heart.

Took this picture a few minutes ago.

Any possibility of seeing the whole plant and flowers? Really nice.
