That sounds cool! Keep me updated, will you?

This one http://plantsdatabase.com/showpicture/16716/ is also an incredible shot; have you studied art or photography?

Arsenic, I studied voice performance in University...and I took a few art coursed then but nothing really seriously! It wasn't until I moved to the Middle East and found NO outlet for my musical talents that I turned to Art as a substitute...I have taken many watercolor and oil classes over the past 10 years...As for photography, I have never had any formal studies...I have taken a couple of online courses and I am a member of Dubai Clickers (a photography group). I think by studying art composition, it has trained my eye for photography...Like music, once you learn to read music and play one instrument, learning to play the others becomes easier!

I have never had one bloom! I was starting to think it was all a big conspiricy by the high priced but excellent nursery I purchased it from. Did you do anything special? How long did it take to bloom?

Yep...
I give it a 1/4 teaspoon of iron once a month...It is in dappled sunlight...I top up the water everyday without letting run over the pot it is in...I have a large terracotta flat pot for mine...And once every 10 days I put the water hose in the pot and let the water run over the top...just to keep it from stagnating.
