I can't believe it. My Calathea 'Dottie" bloomed and I missed it. I just noticed it, I didn't even know that they bloomed, but I guess that is silly since I think most all plants bloom.

Very nice! I will have to watch mine for blooms! I think you should upload your photo's to Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/105550/ I think there's only one photo showing a bloom.

I agree with Lin, your photos would make a wonderful addition to the PlantFile entry. And yes, your photo, or photos, will show up on the PlantFile page. :) It takes a day or so for them to go from the pending queue to the PlantFile entry, depending on how many photo submissions there are waiting in line.
