thanks everyone :blushing:

LOL! @ fishmommy :rofl: the epicatt has had nothing to fear, as it's been a good bloomer for me. The tolu, however ... I guess it's been spared from death by vinegar for another year at least ;)

silken - I hope your tolu blooms nicer than this (more blooms) - hopefully this one will have more blooms in the future!

thanks for the kind words, everyone :)
