As a crotchety old (literally) retired Brit doctor/gardener I must admit I am gob-smacked (hope you know that expression in the Sates GT). I sit here wondering if I can risk planting so and so this week or shall I wait until next week and you can produce these. I love the challenge of semi-tropicals and palms in USDA zone 8b and here you are in USDA zone -what - 4? producing these.

The human spirit is fantastic when you can take plants like these and make them flower not only before they should be flowering but in areas which should not see them - ever.

GT. You are an horticultural hero.

LOL...Thank you John. I must admit we are zone 2. I think there has been debate to bring us to zone 3. I do have a good zone 7-8 indoors though. No freezing but not real hot either. I manufacture my ecosystem as well with grow lights, circulation and humidity like any greenhouse. lol. I'm very flattered still. I can attest nothing to this beauty though, my first year with this bulb and it did this on it's own. :-)
