Keep in mind though that most people that show these have a theory that you
give it 2 to 3 years and if it doesn't flower like you expect then it's
unlikely too.

Ever!

Re. flatness, that can have a genetic basis as
well. Seedlings vary and that is probably why the
illustrated clone was awarded. Simply some
seedlings show off better than others. With a
simple vini Maudiae cross such as yours you are
likely to have good seedlings.


Ok, then it's mostly genetics, and maybe a better bloom over time.
I am happy just to have a spike, so it's ok with me!
Thanks very much!
