Gorgeous 7 inch blooms on sturdy 30 inch stems -- WOW. Will grow it over the summer and hope for even more gorgeous flowers next winter. Started it in a room with a little less light, but it loves this very sunny room. Definitely necessary to turn the pot every day or so as the stems grow to keep them growing straight, as they turn toward the light and grow faster than you would believe. I gave a bulb to my 7 year old neighbor, and she ran upstairs every day after school to see how it had grown while she was away...
