No offense to Chiaki, but that wasn't such a great-looking plant. But who knows, maybe that's the going rate for a mature plant. By the way, do you know what the ending bid was? Just curious.

No, I do not. If I remember correctly, the plant might have been an awarded plant. But, still.....
Keep us posted on the spikes/buds. Cannot wait.

So I went to RF again today and they had one blooming. I guess it was meant for me after seeing all these threads on it. Well the fragrance and the beauty of the flowers were too much for me to resist. So I broke down and got one at last.

and it's ok with you... here it is. I do love it and the smell was awesome. It does look better in person but I'm a lazy photographer. |

Fantastic blooms! Is it still a manageable size, or did they hand over one of their monsters?
