Thank you very much for your reply!

Does it get any direct sunlight on its foliage or only bright indirect light?

It gets direct sun shining in the window, onto the leaves for a few hours in the morning.

Here are few photos i took today of the opening buds! :P






















The third one just started opening today as well(you know,that first tiny initial crack of the petals ). I think it needs more than a week before they are all fully open. I will update again then!

Enjoy them!

Congratulations for a job well done !
This is almost a teen aged seedling and it bloomed for you....
I have seen other plants with leaf almost more than 14 inches long before they even spike....
