Thanks guys.
Great; I find it very easy to grow. Started it off in the conservatory, but we're trying one that was started outside undercover. It only came through about ten days ago, so is well behind this one, but should have enough of the season left for a few blooms.

Thanks Michealla.
Great; Warmth & light. I water about once a week, with a feed every couple of weeks. I have two tubers in a 10 inch pot. When the foliage starts to wilt at the end of the season, withhold water & allow it to dry out. Store the pot in a frost free environment over the winter - it will not tolerate frost at all.

Thanks Meanie I may have to try this. It looks like the flowers will soon fly off into space. Its so unusual
