Quite happy the lil bugger is blooming for me. I can actually take the credit for it. LOL

Others I know who grow it have all told me that it is one of the few cyms that actually LIKES warm temps. Setting buds without any chill down necessary or even desired. [One friend of mine even mentioned that w/ his, cool temps seemed to inhibit spiking].
