This plant is as painfully slow as a malipoense. Started a bud last summer and just takes it time. Cold weather and cloudy days haven’t helped to speed it up. I’ll post pics when it finally opens!

Good luck.
I might need it…
I have read horror stories about this specie, but surprisingly it has been an easy to grow pet. Very slow in maturing and flowering.

Have a good luck!Can t wait to see the flower!
Good luck! Looks promising.
That its alive, growing and flowering shows you are doing a great job. Excited for you.
Look at those 4 new growths!
I know…. started that last summer! Yay!
Do you have any pollen left from Mammoth?
Last summer? I would say, it's worse than malipoense! God, what a nerve wrecking experience... though, as Leslie remarked, the plant itself seems to thrive by the look of the many new growths. Keep us posted!
Yes I think so … I will let you know when I check.
So most of the waiting time is over.....good luck and we are looking forward to seeing the pretty flower here soon.
I think it set a bud, conditions were right, then came fall, cooler weather…and it stalled.
One of our favorite species; can't wait to see this one in bloom.
Looks great! That but will continue to swell and the weight of it could cause it to flop forward so you might want to consider staking it to give it some extra support now. Please post pictures when it blooms.
What a clumper!

lookin good!!!
Flower has just opened…Colors are a bit bleached because of indoor lighting. Cold and cloudy outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunshine, I will try to get more pics. A large flower in comparison to the plant!
So the waiting came to an end and the lovely flower opened and is looking good. 
What about the scent ?
