Here's a first time blooming lowii that I got several years ago as a young plant.

Thanks everyone. Gloria, the spoons look good in that picture, but the next day, they did a half twist, and now the less colorful part of the petal is showing. I'm hoping they keep twisting and come back around. Another bud is opening, so we'll see if it's the plant or just that flower.

ha ha yeah, we do get kinda mad at them for these things don't we?! Give it time Bill, sometimes they gotta dance around abit to take better shape. I also find the better colors can come from the next upcomming flowers.

I will like to see the progross, I hope you can post more pictures of you're lowii.

Keep the faith, Bill

Great looking lowii, Bill. I think you will learn to love the twists and turns they do sometimes. I know I do.
