I thought I'd post this photo so we can all get excited about my dianthum being in spike. ;)

I really like this angle. One of my favourite things about this species which people who don't grow it may not realize is that though it appears to have a "mahogany" colored pouch, it is actually a green pouch on the outside, with purple interior - almost a blueberry pie-like color. The interior color shows through the pouch causing it to appear more brownish from the outside. I find that fascinating.

Does anyone know who the pollinator is for this one?

Okay, now I am totally excited about seeing yours bloom, and mine!
 
very nice! I did not know that about the lip...(I think I need one of these, and a parishii too while I'm at it).
