Not too sure Stefano, I had it on a tray with many other cat seedlings. They were outside until just a few weeks ago, then I had to move in because of cooler temps. There are actually 3 seedlings out of 35 or so that are going to flower...think I just got lucky.:lol:

do you think it bloomed because of the cooler temperatures?
I drove thru london and spent a night last year...
was cool.

what do you grow there? do you use lights?

I remeber it's fragrant too. A grape fragrance?

Could be because of the day/night differentials before I brought them in. We had a particularly cool/wet summer this year, normally very hot and humid.

I have alot of cats, some dends, stanhopeas, phals, coel...brassias, oncidiums & vandas. A good mix, but primarily cats. In the summer I put the majority of my plants outside in the arbour which they seem to love. I don't have greenhouse or lights set up (as yet). The back of my home faces south/west, so get nice afternoon sun and have very large windows. Seems to be a good set up for cats. We are in the process of building an addition which will include a sunroom (yah!!!) which will also have the south west exposure.

Libo, I do detect a slight fragrance now that you mention it....but the sun is not on plant now, will have to have a sniff later.
