Still no aerials here, but I now have 3 buds in one pot and 2 in the other
coming up. The pads on the surface are finally showing some width, both
have a pad 5-6" diameter, but nothing close to BV's monsters. First bud is
now a little bigger than the size of a ping pong ball. ) ~ jan

Not to add insult to injury...but...I now have two aerials and 3-4 new
leaves coming up on the surface. BV

Ah, no problem, I've got an aerial today, 5 buds total with the first
looking like it might be open by tomorrow. ) ~ jan
