Not long to wait then eh? lol

Just another five or six years then SL!
Mine is finally in spike and I'm sooooo excited!

Thanks Paul. Lol Sheilar :-)

yes both mandela's gold and these Meanie, glad your's is in spike i'm eagerly looking forward to the photo's, well done..

they are looking good surreylad

how long from spike to flower meanie?

lord knows Sticki - it's the wrong time of year really with the short days.

oh dear. im not so good at being patient.

How do you think I feel having to look at it everyday Sticki!

Ok, that's worse, I concede!

last time i saw one in spike which is a few years ago, it took nearly 3 months to the first opening petal/spike to appear... i can't wait to seen yours open up Meanie.

sorry should have said spike was dec first petal feb as Meanie said short on light this time of year..

Maybe by the end of January then.............

or take it somewhere lighter to be quicker?

Don't get any lighter than the conservatory.....................

what would happen if you had a 'daylight' simulation bulb and could leave that on during evenings??

The leccy bill goes through the roof!!!!

ah, didnt think of that!

Thanks Hb :-))
