Pmastersianum

[Rick]

This is sort of a progression. I was having so much bud blast last year I quit counting my chickens before they hatched, but this one looks for sure now.

I first noticed the spike back in Oct/Nov of last year. This one has been moving pretty slow.

About 3 weeks ago.



Today.

Ha Rick -- I thought it meant bad luck to show it

 

[SlipperKing]

As good as that bud looks, it's go'in to be a keeper!

It's almost there now.

Watch a rat get in the GH and chew it off now

is it true the flower can last three months?

 

[Heather]

Oh, that's pretty.

Uri, Rick, were you racing? Tortoise and the Hare perhaps? oke:

It's funny, now that I'm really not growing many slippers, I am learning to appreciate all the families much more. On one hand, look how long it took me to get to this thread, but on the other I'm really thankful I eventually did. I learned a lot from it about a plant I've never given much time to. I think I'm back in a learning and educating phase more than a growing phase. Not a bad thing really.
