Thanks - I have to admit that 'Black Pearl' is my favourite!

i like them all barbara, cant decide which is favourite,think there has been some lovely ones on here dont you :o)

It's beaten mine Barbara - mine's still a stalk with a blob on top lol

It won't be long, Sid! 30 days from a tiny shoot to a fully open flower. :-)))

this is a pretty one too.

:-)

Take it into a warmer room, then, Homebird - that'll do it! Do you know its name?

Shame. Oh well, it'll be a nice surprise then!

I'm growing one that looks like this on the box. I hope it's as lovely.

Mine is about a foot tall now ;-) Still a stalk with a blob on top tho lol

I hope so too, Gardengirl.

Oh SID!!! Take yours into a warmer room as well! ;-)

Up to about 40cm now, but STILL of stalk with a blob!!!!! :-S

Oh, oh, oh........LOL. LOL. Oh Sarah - that's so funny!

I'm sorry - I shouldn't laugh at the poor thing......but really!!!! ;-)))))))

I KNOW!!! Honestly, the anticipation is killing me Barbara!!!!!!

Hee heee..........maybe it will NEVER open! LOL.

Agh! Don't joke! 50cm and counting.....

Still no sign of the buds opening? What a shy (little) plant! LOL.

Well, today the very top of the blob has slightly opened, kinda like a tulip, so hopefully not too long to wait now!!!

You encouraged me to measure mine it's a bit behind at 20cm but grew 2cm overnight. see what tmw brings.

2cm! Wow that's loads! :-0

Can't wait to see it, Sarah! Talk about suspense...

Gardengirl, they are just amazingly fast movers....:-)))

Yeah, I'm really going to have to post a picture of it arnt I lol Still no flower to report as yet.........

UN - believable! Photo, please, Sarah. :-)))

Mine's up to 56cm today but no sign of opening yet.

It's happened!!! The blob has erupted!!! I've got 2.5 flowers so far!!!! Will try to find time this evening to post up some photos ;-)

Hooray, Sarah - about time! I'll look for photos later. What colour is it?

It's a double white with just tiny bits of pink at the tips of the petals. The flowers are HUGE!!! 6" across at least!

Sounds lovely. My 'Black Pearl' has produced a second flower stem - and I didn't even notice. LOL.

Oh wow - bonus! Gosh they are amazing things arn't they......

I can't believe I didn't notice! :-))))))

Mine's on it way to according to the box it should be salmon colour. I'll look for your photos too Sid.

Come on, Sarah - I keep popping across to your photos! Where is it?

Mine has finally opened in all it's glory and can be viewed in my photos.

I've looked, and it's a beauty!
