Way cool What's the name of the Jewel Orchid? I haven't got any of
those...yet I found a Helleborus finally and I'm waiting for it to
arrive, it's a dark purple red one but the flowers could be anything from
deep purple maroon to a light red. Personally I'm hoping for the dark
purple red. My Catasetum 'Pink Fragrance' has a spike with 9 buds thet are
about 1/4 inch in size and my Bl. Morning Glory has 2 sheaths so hopefully
it will have flowers (I hope I hope I hope)
