Very lovely, Magnus! Impressive growing.
Mine are coming along nicely but not showing flower spikes yet this year.

The red in Sophronitis is always a beauty!

Beautiful plant Magnus! What a great display - I love the way you're growing this.

My little one has just started growing two new growths - so maybe I'll see flowers next year?

Let me know if you are bidding on one, Becca - I won't bid against you I'd rather see you get it for a lower price I am sure there are plenty to go around

I have a 4N version of me and when it flowered several years ago it was the most magnificent one I had seen. However it has been going backwards ever since and loses roots as soon as it grows them. The leaves appear to be ok but I can't understand why this one plant doesn't grow well for me? Should I mount it? I have it in a small pot at the moment.

Your plants looks fantastic!!! And I hope I can flower mine again one day.
