Default It's slow & quiet here, so some more of the same!

By the way, it's obvious the poor thing needs repotting. Any suggestions on
what to do with it?

I don't want to go with a larger hanging basket, as the weight of the damned
thing will collapse the greenhouse structure! I was considering a non-S/H
use of PrimeAgra in a large plastic pot.

Gary,

Rod Venger gave me a 2" pot seedling about 10+ years ago.

I guarantee I'm not the greatest den grower, and it was basically ignored.
If it grew, great. If not, oh well. About 5 years ago it went into a 6"
basket that I hung up with the vandaceous plants.

It bloomed for the first time recently, 2 spikes on one 18"-20" growth, a
single spike on another.

Hope you're 1) better at growing them than I, and 2) patient.

Very nice! Mine's still in a 3" pot. I gues I'll have to wait for this.

Den. speciosum a little too bright but in full bloom now. The fragrance
is
strong in the morning &
subsides after noon.
