I nursed and nursed this plant and was on the brink of just throwing it away. I thought I would try the ole putting the perlite in the bottom of the pot trick on it, and poof, this plant has tripled in size over the winter and has just turned into a little beauty. I don't no what I am going to threaten it with now to get a peduncle out of it this year !!! Speaking of H. obscura this one was labeled H. obscura "major" I know we have had a discussion about it, with the major having larger leaves. Do you think there really is a difference and should the major just be dropped from it's name.

And what ever happened to Night Bloomer, I wanted to see how her obscura did after she threw it out under the tree !!!
