A strictly seasonal bloomer for me -- and now 'tis the season. I do find the buds on mine seem to benefit from some rinsing as the buds reach maturity. Instead of the sticky droplets typically secreted by buds on my catts, these seem to acquire a starchy film which does make it more difficult for the buds to open. A gentle rinse with lukewarm water appears to help immensely.



I like the ghostly 'hands' at the tips of the lip's side lobes.
