I posted this flower earlier when only one was opened. Now the other bud has opened! This is the first time I have been able to keep these guys looking this good. Usually they get all spotted and ugly within a few days!

Awesome Howard! So what have you done differently to avoid the spots and browning this time around?

Water! Absolutely avoid ANY water or mist to get on the flowers!
