I have not looked at the live cam since I started the thread.
Wow, once it gets going it seems to speed up.
I started 9 small babies I bought on Ebay a couple of years ago but lost them over winter ;-((
When we are settled at our new place I want to try again.
I remember a good DG friend kept a good sized corm wrapped and boxed in the basement over winter. Early the following Spring he noticed a strange odor wafting through the house. Yup, even down there it started growing. hahahah Wonder what his DW thought ??
I would love it just to see the look on my DH's face ..... lol
Ohhhh , gettin' there slowly but surely.
Just amazing IMO
Thanks for the reminder! The look on visitors faces says it all!
Scroll down to see the click-able thumbnail of Perry's window .
The payoff for this window-making is a wonderful view of Perry’s female and male flowers.

It didn't open very wide before shrinking, I didn't look yesterday but I don't think it opened any further than shows.
The females look to have small red bulbs at their bases, ready to grow. I think they need pollen from a different plant to fertilise them, or are these self-fertile?
