How nice! I've been lusting after one of these. SBOE has a few hybrids
that may be easier to bloom, but still...nothing beats 'em when the bloom!

You may recall my previous statement that "I don't grow dens" and Dave
Gillingham's urging that I really should.

Some time after "the big freeze" that wiped out a 20-year collection, Rod
Venger gave me a D. speciosum seedling, barely an inch and a half tall, 2
growths. It has now progressed to a :fist bloom seedling", some ten years
of abuse later.

As a reference, it's in an 8" basket, the double-spiked growth on the left
is 27" tall, and the width, tip if spike to opposite leaves on right is
52".
