Thanks everybody!!! And thanks for humoring me and my photos ... I am just so happy this thing finally bloomed after all the bud blasting and tempermental fit throwing (by the plant, not me ... although I am capable...).

Movin' right along...

By the way, there must be something about the amount of light exposure & bloom scent because mine smells like overripe peaches. The scent is not strong enough to fill up a whole room, but I am about six feet away, with no air movement, and I can easily smell it. Mark, did you ever notice any scent at all? I did not notice mine until about 9-10pm.

The blooms that have been open since yesterday are more reflexed than the newer ones, but they are all starting to arch their little "backs."

I am going camping tomorrow and so I am a little irritated that I agreed to go (because, for one thing, my idea of camping is a hotel with room service), so I will not be documenting their progression for two days. Arrrgggghhh.
