Congrats on your kovachii. Can you show some pics?? I believe it takes 5 months from spike to bloom.

From what I have been told---- about a couple of weeks!!!!!

[NYEric]

Yep. But once they get going you get lots of blooms!

Ok, have posted the pics of my kovachii in spike, I made a new thread as this one is already pretty long. Interesting to note the colour differences in the plant and spike. Maybe it is the dissolved salts in my water that gives rise to the reddish bits in mine..?

I'd forgotten that I had made this, but I've now posted a video I made 2 years ago of my kovachii opening up over 12 days. You can view it here:

There's so much work involved in making these timelapse videos, I stopped after that winter. 24 hour a day worries..! The video was created from over 16,000 shots.
