Yay, you'll love it! Will you do a show and tell of it and the other 7 plants when you get them???

I have 4 in the mail from them right now. I might go back for move.

That is absolutely charming! Mine just bloomed for the first time but I think it’s a different variety or maybe the regular one? Maybe mislabeled? Not sure. It’s much more of a pale yellow. I love the wavy leaves though (or leaf... mine only has one leaf right now. I probably did something stupid like let it get too dry). I think I need to pick up another one from Marlows and stick it in the terrarium. It’s just too cute

SaraJean, go for it! It sounds like yours is the right color for var. hookeriana. I called Jonathan at Marlow for clarification when mine bloomed white. He said it was white because it was a first bloom for the plant. Future blooms eventually will be yellowish.

Mine lives in a terrarium at 85% rh and seems to love it. I almost bought a 2nd one but I've run out of room.
