Thanks, Judi! I'm quite pleased with how both of these turned out. They weren't in flower when I bought them, but I recognised the typical Masdie foliage and thought I would take a chance on what they would look like.

oh wow, those are really spectacular looking! Congrats and great growing! :D

Thanks, DJ! They do make my heart beat faster when I see them flower.

Thanks! So it seems it was worth the risk of buying them out of flower. :D
