You can buy whatever you want, since it's too late to join this project anyways. Haraella is really really small, so maybe getting a blooming size one is better. Totally up to you.

That's a completely different project! This thread is for the spring project, which was the Haraella odorata. The thread you show is for the upcoming summer project, which will be a completely different plant. So if you signed up there, you're good for the project.

Yeah! Mine finally opened! When I got it, I tossed it in the fishtank wardian case on the top shelf under a plain old T-8 shop light. It shot up a spike really fast, developed a big bud, and then just kind of sat there as if mocking me. But as it slowly opened it was putting out a few more spikes! I guess it like the tank. Anyways, here's the pic. Just about the same as everyone else's.
