Default Aer. grandiose

When I bought this plant last year, it was in spike and I did a terrible thing by repotting it...well, you know what that will do sometimes....as I was watering one morning last April, I noticed two bloom spikes!!

So on June 6th, IT BLOOMED!!! It was gorgeous! But as fate would have it, I forgot to take any pictures to share with all of you.... Shame on me, I know...

So this morning, the 2nd bloom decided to pop out and say "hello", it's a little smaller than the first (about 3") but I'm still thrilled! (and there's still a 3rd bloom begind this one ) The center of the bloom gets a great yellow hue to it in about the 3rd day of being open...really cool looking!
