Awesome indeed. Congrats on blooming this bad boy. Is it a fast (relatively speaking) grower?

 

[tnyr5]

Oh the pea-greenage!

Nice job keeping this guy alive. How long have you had it?

 

[Justin]

i've grown it about 7 years but it is older than that. slow but strong grower. it has picked up speed since it got a second growth.

 

[SlipperKing]

Sweet deal Justin. It doesn't get any better then this, " Local boy post rare plant"

 

[Denver]

That is stunning and the flower looks huge! How big is it actually? Could you post a picture of the flower next to something to give us a better perspective of its size?

 

[Paul]

very nice flower!!! well done, the plant is nice too so you should bloom it again """soon""" lol !!!

 

[Mocchaccino]

So dark for the dorsal. What a nice bloom.

What's the leaf span for it? I want to know if I can keep one as my place does not permit large colony

 

[MaryPientka]

I second dodidoki. Spectacular! I'm speechless.

 

[naoki]

Wow, amazing! It looks pretty compact. Is the longest leaf about 7"?

 

[polyantha]

Wow, always good to see a living anitum. Most hobbyists seem to kill them over the years...

Nice an dark for sure. A hard one to keep alive, so I hear.

 

[Ozpaph]

anitum and snow. Now that's a contrast.
Great dark colour.

Beautiful! Great growing, Justin -- I understand these are not easy growers. Any growing tips in case I can ever get one?
