This was a 3" seedling gift from Russell (phrag guy on SlipperTalk), at a show in the spring of 2007. It was his own cross. The seedling grew like crazy and reached blooming size in one year. It was just opening it's first flower when the freeze hit in March 2008 and everything above the pot rim died. However, the roots and rhizome did not die. Within a month, it was sprouting a new growth from the leafless pot of roots. Now, 18 months later, it's finally tried again and this time, I got to see the flower! I'm quite pleased with the result. Thanks Russell!
