A better shot of the buds

looking at the darker staminode, I would pronounce it in Luxembourg will-HEL(L)-meen-aeAbsolutely beautiful! My buds blasted a couple of months ago, grrrrrr.....
Do most people say will-uh-MEEN-ae or will-HELL-min-ae?
I think Andy's still has them on his list (which is where I got mine). Mine have a leaf span of 6-8 inches.very nice.
I have two questions as this species has been recommended as a small growing multi floral. What is the leaf span on your plant? AND Does anybody know where to buy a wilhelminae? I have been looking but so far no luck finding one.
He does and I was all set to order one but he says on his site: "Shade to Bright; 1500-2500 Footcandles (indirect light, pronounced shadowing)". Do you think they can be successfully grown under florescent lighting?I think Andy's still has them on his list (which is where I got mine). Mine have a leaf span of 6-8 inches.
Probably, especially if you raise them up near the lights. They also prefer coolish temps which are easier to get under lights than in the GH. You might also consider adding a compact florescent spot light to point right at it.He does and I was all set to order one but he says on his site: "Shade to Bright; 1500-2500 Footcandles (indirect light, pronounced shadowing)".

Yep, it can certainly be done. Mine is kicking butt under 4, 40 watt fluors. Dead center of the garden for max intensity and pretty darn close to the tubes. Got it from Ackers a couple years ago.He does and I was all set to order one but he says on his site: "Shade to Bright; 1500-2500 Footcandles (indirect light, pronounced shadowing)".
