Thanks so much. Ok. I'll just sit and wait - and watch and keep tending to them... (Patience is not my strong suit, but I guess it's a lesson I will have to learn if I want to reap the rewards.) In the meantime, I can just look at your pics and stay inspired.

hi catgirrrl John is right! Patience is the name of the game! I only have on e received with a very short spike in 2006, about 0.5 cms (June- if I am not mistaken..)anyway that original spike has not grown (it is' frozen')last year it grew a new spike and had one flower, this year it has grown a third spike which should flower in the next month.I hope last years spike will also flower.
