found this on you tube.

catfish,

That's a slightly different variety. Here is our type: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJ6cvpa45Y&mode=related&search=

Our plant itself is kind of gangly and isn't much to look at but, each flower is 6 - 8 inches across and about 6-8 inches deep the structure of the flower is amazing and it is fragrant. They are really spectacular!

Our neighbor, where I grew up, used to throw parties to celebrate the blooms on their plant.

Regards,

oh:o

Well I still like the picture and I'm glad you shared~ I have no green thumb, I can't even grow raddishes..... the only plants I've managed not to kill are my red mangroves growing in my fish tanks. :p

They have been easier for us to grow than the orchids and Sparky and MeMe occasionally climb around on them (though usually, they aren't too interested ;) ).

Glad you liked the pic :) .

Regards,
