Nicely done, Rich.
Are the flowers long-lasting in your gh?

According to IOSPE, the flowers of charlesworthii are long-lasting but the flower on mind only lasted 3 weeks. Mine was a newly divided plant, so that might have something to do with it. Hopefully, the next bloom will last longer(the flowers on the mother plant are long-lasting/6 weeks).
IOSPE also says it grows in deep shade but a couple of growers on ST grow it in "medium light". so take all online info with a grain of salt.
