So for the new flower stalk, I guess you wont be cutting for another attempt. Good luck yeah Nice photos too!

I was only misting it once a day, but the pot that I had wasn't great. It wasn't a tray style instead it was like a bell shape with a drain but any excess water would collected at the bottom of the pot... Now I know better.. And ya I'm letting this one flower should be any day now a few bulbs are starting to open!!

Good luck and hope your flower brings you plenty of good seeds

Thank you. It was a lot of fun to try out, and it will teach you a lot about lighting and watering and trying different growing/watering methods

I think that it has self pollinated on Friday it started closing and today the pedals are starting to curl in

In case you need to do it yourself,
