I found this at the local garden center the other day! I was so happy to find it there, I love it! It is putting on such a fantastic display! Sadly I cannot do it justice with my photos. Recently my speedlight broke so I had to take these without a flash so I used a long exposure, and I was in a time pinch so I couldn't use a black background to fully do it justice, but it is what it is. I apologize that the photography is not up to my typical standards, I'm almost embarrassed to post these!
Anyways back to the plant, in it's height it had 19 blooms on one spike and the three branches coming off of it. ENJOY!!
