we were thinking about adding some mannii's to the collection, and seeing this make me want some even more!
great growing!!

It's still alive although I think its getting old now, it doesn't flower as well as what it used to and it got set back by root rot when I didn't change the bark often enough.

Does it get fragrant? I purchased a very young seedling 2 years ago, then got impatient and also doubted the ID and purchased another more mature seedling from a better source. Needless to say, I’ve been patiently waiting for it to bloom. It’s about to do so for the first time and is showing those dark blotches on the buds that are characteristic of this variety, thank God!

Mine was never fragrant which was the only disappointment.
