Thank you, Nelson! That's high praise, considering the source.

Qing, I know the photo looks upside down, but I shot it in a plant-rightside-up position. This is how it set the flower. The plant is mounted and this was the direction it hung when the spike developed. It's weird. I can flip the post, but I really stuck to what the plant presented.

As for color, this fellow started opening yesterday morning, so it hasn't been open that long. It's not very green though.
