    very nice, SS is a wonderful hybrid. I think the bottom flowers should crack open within 4-6 days or so, and be fully open in 7-10. of course if it's really cold that will delay things.

    The bottom flower on the two bud spike is starting to crack today. Day room temps are mid 70's down to mid 60's at night.
