That's really, really nice! I've got 2 young unbloomed clones that I bought at a 2-for sale. The last growth sheaths appear to be blind but the new ones hopefully won't be. They are very strong, thick, and about 3 inches long so far plus one plant has 4 new growths and the other 3. I can't wait.

Hi veekay! That is such a beauty! I have this one also and it was blooming size when I got it a year ago, but no signs of any sheathes. Thanks for reminding me why I got this one. :)

I love it, too.
The clone, New City, has been popular here for a lot of years. Because it flowers in late winter till early spring, it becomes a good ornament for our Chinese New Year.

I like this plant and I don't know why I don't have it, I will correct that issue when shipping weather gets here.

I've seen something really similar to this beauty. Some how the word moth is in the name. I know it has something to do with moth something or other. It will drive me crazy trying to remember what it is.

:coverlaugh: Very eloquently put, Don. Couldn't have said it better myself.

There was some form of Chia Lin blooming in a greenhouse here on campus before Christmas. Gorgeous, velvety purple, huge flowers with a fantastic smell. Veekay, you are one lucky person, having this beauty!
