Thank you, my friends. I'm glad you all liked it.
When the other blooms are opened I'll post some pics.

Yes, that's a good idea. I don't know if they have that info since I bought it almost one year ago. I'll try...

One more detail and one question...this flower has what seems to be covered in floss (I think this is the correct word for it). In day light it's clearly visible and with certain kinds of altificial light seems to be iridescent (this effect is visible in one of the pictures).

Now the question...the "Darth Vader" variety I mentioned, does anybody knows if it's fragrant?
Mine is not, at least so far.

Update: most of the blooms (but not all) are open. Two are left in the main spike, and two more in a third spike which, I think, cannot be seen in the picture.
Also a detail of some funny roots, growing away from the light source.

In fact they are darker than what is seen in the pic. The flowers seem to be covered by microscopic iridescent hair which create "special effects" with the light. Unfortunately my phone cam doesn't take macros.
