Decided to move it into a larger pot for the winter, since I don't want to chance putting it in my new bog this late in the season. I'm stunned. This growth is the same over the whole circumference of the mass of sphagnum, and all through it. Considering what I started with and when this is serious growth!

I guess it's spring:

Wow! That was worth the wait.

Yeah, but I don't think the lights it was under were really up to the task of a good bloom, and several buds blasted. This might be the only one I see this season. By shortly after this time next year I should have a couple square feet of it in bloom outdoors, as nature intended. That will definitely be worth the wait!

Very nice. How long do blooms last?

I think they lasted about 2 weeks last year.

Well, since it's not mine I can have patience.

I'll be awaiting next year's picture.
