Yes, up north in Lappland we have reindeers.

Nice to hear that you have been in our beautiful country.

A small world ... roots here. We have a town Hanko near where i live. ( just google Hanko Finland) ... You should emigrate to Finland to your own town, cool ... Isn't it ?

We know of the town, but I didn't know you lived nearby and we haven't been able to trace any connection between our family and the town.

Ok, perhaps it is just a coincidence to have the same name.

Another picture.

Beautiful! It seems as if the flowers have a slight greenish tone to them. I remember seeing this one in a few websites and never thought it would grow that large!

Congrats!

The flowers on mine do seem to have a greenish cast, though I've seen them a more lemon-yellow color. As to size, there have been several CCM's given to plants with 5--70 flowers.

Really lovely, not sure I've come across this one before.

It's really a dainty little plant but a bit touchy if not given the right conditions, i.e., cool and good humidity.
